| Pre amp for Krell FPB & Teac P-70 & D-70?? My findings on Esoteric X-01 are posted on the following thread:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ddgtl&1090867688&read&keyw&zzesotericThere exists a slim chance that I might be able to compare X-01 with the P70 D70 combo tom... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? My findings on Esoteric X-01 are posted at:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ddgtl&1090867688&read&keyw&zzesoteric | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? If we are comparing Esoteric DV50 with much more expensive units, some may as well post a comparison of DV50 with the Esoteric X-01 single box unit. I heard this box (redbook and SACD only) next to Burmester 001 and Bel Canto PL1-A, and X-01 was i... | |
| Pre amp for Krell FPB & Teac P-70 & D-70?? Inpieces, my current system is as follows: EAD T1000, with C-Core Glass AT&T-type wire to EAD DSP7000 Mk3. Audio Research LS2B, Jeff Rowland 7M series 2 with trans-impedence modules, MagnePan IIIA.I have heard Esoteric X-01, but not P70, D70. ... | |
| Pre amp for Krell FPB & Teac P-70 & D-70?? InPieces, I am going to audition the BAT 51SE and the Conrad Johnson ACT2 in a couple of weeks. The preamp would eventually be connected to a Teac Esoteric X-01 that I am planning to acquire early in the new year. I will report findings on this th... | |
| Pass Labs versus Jeff Rowland, Audio Research Mfslgold, I'd love to heed your advice, if I were not addicted to MagnePan, that regretably are such unrepentant juice guzzlers.Could I ask you to comment on the sonic characteristics of the Rowland(s) and ARC(s) that you owned? Thanks, Guido | |
| Pass Labs versus Jeff Rowland, Audio Research Good point RMDH. Have you compared ARC 300.2 with Rowland 501 monoblocks? Excellent idea about Shunyata Anaconda. I have tried this chord at Andy Singer's shoppe in N.Y. recently and I am totally sold on it. | |
| ARC REF II mkI vs. BAT VK-51se Let's modify the question just slightly. Can someone compare the current Audio Research Ref 2 Mk. II to the current BAT VK51SE? | |
| Pass Labs versus Jeff Rowland, Audio Research Thank you so much Fernando. I am in fact considering very seriously replacing my EAD T100 + DSP7000 with the Esoteric X-01. In addition I may be able to upgrade either my amplifier or my LS2B preamp.As you have used both Rowland and Pass Labs amps... | |
| Pass labs X600 Thank you for the pointer LiGuy. I will visit Diyaudio.com as suggested. In the meantime, have you had an opportunity to compare the sound of X with X.5 series boxes yourself already? | |
| Pass Labs versus Jeff Rowland, Audio Research Thank you so much Dave and Muralman1 for the input. What is the efficiency of the Apogee Duetta and their impedance? Please tell me more about the H20 Signature. I have auditioned the Rowland 201 monoblocks, rated at 250W, also based on the B&... | |
| Pass Labs versus Jeff Rowland, Audio Research Thanks Dave, the info on the X.5 internal changes are still scant. The best info I have found so far seems to suggest changes in the power supply have been included. Here is an extract from an ad for the x-250.5 on audiogon: ". . . addition of sin... | |
| Pass labs X600 Armando, Perhaps it is in fact true that things are achangin'. Even Nelson Pass may be agreeing with all concerned: Pass labs is in the process of redesigning its entire X series, to be now called the X.5. An X600.5 should arrive hopefully in the ... | |
| EMM DCC2/CDSD versus Esoteric X-01 Thank you Bombaywalla for your keen observation. I have reasons to believe that all three devices were in a similar state of warmup. They all were stationed in their regular spots at this dealer's showroom and the consultant asserted that the equi... | |
| TEAC Esoteric X-01 SACD/CD Player I have recently auditioned Esoteric X-01, Bel Canto PL-1A and Burmester 001. X-01 was by far the best of the 3 and Burmester far the worse. My detailed findings are discussed in the following thred:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ddgtl&... |
