Esoteric K01: What are the best settings for CD?
Tubed ARC players are lovely as well.... They will probably take a similar amount of time to break in... Unfortunately, by the time the digital electronics is broken in, you might need to start changing the 6550C tube in the power supply.... If my... 
Esoteric K01: What are the best settings for CD?
Hmmm, I am familiar with the CD. I suspect there might be a little marketing spin/creativity on the naming of the tracks... Remember the old Drystan cold/pain remedy... Releaved a total of 12 symptoms, never mind symptoms were more/less repetitive... 
jeff rowland model 6 and bps-6 connecting cabel
I recommend that you obtain the power pigtail between M6 and BPS-6 directly from Jeff Rowland Group:(719) 473-11181Furthermore, as you may need to play around with jumpers when connecting M6 to its battery unit, it may be best to consult the M6 ma... 
Esoteric K01: What are the best settings for CD?
Kiwi, if I recall correctly, DSD is selected in the "filters" menu... hence, whether DSD is an actual filter, or it is a CODEC, or something technically different, else... I am not sure if it matters. Are you suggesting a different term for it? Le... 
Esoteric K-05 or K-07?
Hi Kiwi_1282001... You are right on about pure BC, including BC on X-01. Yes, earthy with a little more bass than what I would been happy, and a little less treble than what I would prefer, is exactly how I would define it... Overall, not a setup ... 
D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ?
To be more specific, Rowland makes the new M525stereo: a 250W stereo amp bridgeable to 1000W mono operations. The device is based on Pascal power conversion modules with PFC integrated in the power supply... M525 has just started to ship. Continuu... 
Esoteric K-05 or K-07?
Excellent comments Geoff... I discovered something fascinating with my old X-01 during the weekend... The unit had been sitting for a while on Aluminum-ceramic Nordost Sort Kones: yes, the yield a mild enhancement in resolution/imaging over the X-... 
Furutech IEC inlets, Cables and GTX-D
Furutech makes some wonderful cable products. My overall Furutech favorite is the EVO II loom that I reviewed for PFO on issue 45:http://positive-feedback.com/Issue45/furutech.htmThe Flux series is even more revealing, with the ICs and speakerwire... 
Esoteric K-05 or K-07?
Like some other brands/series, the Esoteric K-0X series can be tuned very much to the particular preference of the user.... no upsampling, 2X, and 4X.... No filtering, FIR1, FIR2, Slow delay 1, Slow delay 2, DSD. Each combination yields a very uni... 
Experiencing Rowland M925 4-chassis reference amps
I did enjoy the experience immensely French_Fries.... It was in fact remarkable that the bass was so clear, and the voicing of various instruments so distinct, in spite of the ancient vintage of the darling tuner. On the other hand, I am not imply... 
Esoteric K-05 or K-07?
Well, you need to consider that the way to audio Nirvana can take many meandering paths... What is harmonically textured and neutral for one, may sound edgy for another; and what sounds lush for the latter, may be syrupy to the former. A total con... 
Experiencing Rowland M925 4-chassis reference amps
Hi French_Fries, the primary duty of my tuner is to feed FM interstation pink noise hash to the amps. Secondary duty is to let me enjoy the musicology lectures of Bill McLaughlyn... Quality of sound is suboptimal for the rest of the system. But I ... 
Review: Machina dynamica Brilliant Pebbles Tweak
Hmmm.... Pitchblend or Autumnite Fluorescent Pebbles anyone? Geoff, how about it.... I am wondering if some slow neutrons fizzing out from U235 and U239 totally natural nitrate minerals sitting on top of my glorious African mansonia stands would e...

Esoteric K-05 or K-07?
Yashu, if you have a rack with the shelves vented on 4 sides, there should not be a problem with ventilation of K-03 or even K-01. My X-01, which runs a little warmer than K-01, has about 2" of top clearance... The player's top is warm, but never ...
