Very intriguing Muralman! A comparison of H2O with X600 is exactly what I am seeking. Did you already mention in some thread what speakers you are driving?Are you planning also to audition X600.5 when they become available after CES? It is my unde...

GLAI, you are not the only one who opted for the ModWright Sony. My old friend PSCIALLI also went that route after reading the various shootout findings. He has not received the device yet. But to be fair to Alex, those findings were reported befo...

Pedrillo, I have reasons to suspect that you and I listened to the same system. Was it at Sound By Singer in N.Y? And your observations about Burmester 001 vs Esoteric X-01 match my findings exactly. See:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ddg...

Alex at APL has now started to add recklocking circuitry to his 3910 designs, and Steve Milin has just received his unit re-moded with it, and has already commented favorably on the change. In a similar vein, the DCS Verona external clock is avail... 
Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better?
Springbok10, my answer is yes. I would much prefer to work towards a fully balanced system. Perhaps in the future Alex from APL and Dan from ModWright may consider modifying some fully balanced players.

Spoke to Henry. I found out a couple of technical details about the H2O mono amps missing on the web site:1. They are a full balanced dsign with both XLR and RCA inputs.b. The power supply is an analog, continuous Power supply, rather than a switc...

Thank you MuralMan, for everyone's benefit, I have found the H2O site at:http://www.iceh2oaudio.com/The fact that you and others are applying these creatures to the voracious Scintillas makes me feel good. I am looking forward to reading more revi...

Muralman, that was a very lyrical and spontaneously drafted review, in the style of stream of consciousness. Scott is comparing H20 to Aragon 4004 and reports a staggering improvement on MG 2.6 with H20. I am not surprised. I have used the same Ar...

Loudandclear, Have you ever heard the H20 monoblocks driving Magnepan? I have Maggie IIIA and may consider upgrading to 3.6 or 20.1.

Rooze, Pass is expected to release the X600.5 monoblocks early in the new year. You should also be able to pick up a used X600 pair and upgrade them to the X.5 new standard.

AVGURU, I can see the plot thickens: Marvellous! 
Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better?
AVGURU, Would a 6-way shootout be a possibility? X-01, DV-50, Mightner, ModWright, APL Exemplar? By the way have you been able to A/B the X-01 directly already with some of the other units? 
Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better?
That's very interesting Alex, pls tell me more. Is this an internal or external clock? With an accuracy of 0 ppm are you saying that your clock has achieved absolute accuracy? Can the clock be apply to an arbitrary CDP having an external word sync...
