| Any experience with the Esoteric UX-1 EJLIF, I did read the sound thrashing that the X-01 and UX-1 players received on Absolute Sound and the reviews left me befuddled. My admittedly short experience with X-01 was very different. I can't even decide if it's the usual matter of 'beauty... | |
| Any experience with the Esoteric UX-1 LBSILVER, you have a legitimate concern. Give a call to John as I suggested. He does carry both brands and is very familiar with UX-1. He will give you his very knowledgeable opinion.I have personally compare X-01 with the Burmester 001 and Bel Ca... | |
| Any experience with the Esoteric UX-1 I have not heard the UX-1 but have listened to the X-01, which does only redbook and SACD and absolutely love it. Please note that the X-01 does not have DVD nor video, but has twice the DAC chips as the UX-1 and is supposed to sound better for au... | |
| tube upgrade for first sound Rayhall, what upgrades did you apply to your First Sound pre? | |
| tube upgrade for first sound Oldpet, your answer was exactly what I was looking for. Will you be getting a hotrodded FS or a standard configuration? If I order one I will more than likely source a hotrod version which will maximize the audible benefits of its minimalist design. | |
| tube upgrade for first sound This thread is an absolute fountain of priceless info!!! Oldpet, could you tell us what are the two tube preamps you examined then discarded on your way to audio Nirvana with the First Sound. And where did these preamps fall short? | |
| Difference between First Sound Presence and Hotrod Just spoke to Emmanuel. First of all, there is no price difference between the standard products and the hotrod versions. This is because internally both the standard versions and the hotrod versions are essentially identical. That is all parts ar... | |
| Difference between First Sound Presence and Hotrod Will do TVAD. I will try to buzz Emmanuel tomorrow. By the way, I'd like to hear more about your impressions of First Sound, as you appear to own one of these units.Have you listened to several levels of the First Sound pre? What were the sonic di... | |
| Difference between First Sound Presence and Hotrod Bemopti123, have you found any info about your original question? I am considering a First Sound pre and would opt for the hotrodded version if it yielded an even better sound than the standard multi-input version. | |
| TRL 595-how good is it? Good question LA45. You should contact Luigi (Gigi) Pugnetti. He may still remember me from grade 8. He truly is a neurologist who has specialized in the application of artificial realities as a rehabilitation tool for the treatment of some real c... | |
| TRL 595-how good is it? My apologies LKDOG. I was actually wondering if Steve may be possibly suffering of an advanced form of Degenerative Audiophilic Chorea (DAC), which in my view may very well affect most Audiogon inmates, including yours truly of course.Sometimes er... | |
| TRL 595-how good is it? My apologies JSala, my comments were directed to LKDOG. | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Alex has posted a tidbit of tantalizing info on his APL-HIFI.com siteHe has apparently commenced modifications of the Esoteric UX-1.No further info is given at this point. Perhaps Alex could post here with some more info on this latest project. | |
| TRL 595-how good is it? jsala, I just can't see any indication of Steve Miling not having a load of clean fun. Is there a particular clinical cymptom which may point at this fact?Steve appears to be giving a lot of players a valiant try. Which can't be said of most of us... | |
| TRL 595-how good is it? Steve, please expand on the subject. How does the TRL differ from your APL 3910 and ModWright?Assume, just for the purpose of this exercise, that they were identically priced, even though we all know this not to be even faintly the case. |
