| Esoteric K-01 Of course Alex, it is important to keep independent variables at a minimum.... Hence 2 well broken in CDPs should be in the same system, fed into identically broken in inputs of the pre, connected with identical and equally broken in ICs, and fed ... | |
| JRDG Coherence II; Battery Display Issue Stew, it is likely that your depleted batteries did not deliver an optimum voltage to Coherence any longer.... Hence a comparatively more dynamic performance with fresh batteries. G. | |
| Esoteric K-01 "And what the point would be, comparing something that has a switching-mode power supply with a linear power?"Hmm, considering the old Stravinskian recommendation by which a tree is best judged by its fruits, rather than solely by its roots, evalu... | |
| JRDG Coherence II; Battery Display Issue Magfan, the JRDG literature is not terribly specific. It states only that excessive drain may damage the Lead-Calcium batteries of Coherence. Actual polarity inversion is a pure fruit of my own guesswork. Needless to say, the application of a non ... | |
| JRDG Coherence II; Battery Display Issue Uck.... Looks like the 3 days long battery drain zeroed the battery and possibly inverted their polarity as well. Remember to apply a touch of vaseline or similar lubricant onto the walls of the battery compartment, to prevent the fresh set from e... | |
| JRDG Coherence II; Battery Display Issue There are 2 JRDG-authorized repair shops in New York State. They are both listed on the JRDG Knowledge base at:http://jeffrowlandgroup.com/kb/questions.php?questionid=483 | |
| JRDG Coherence II; Battery Display Issue Stew, as mentioned in my PM, there is an entry in the JRDG knowledge base that suggests that one of your batteries may have failed and may need replacement. See:http://jeffrowlandgroup.com/kb/questions.php?questionid=464 The Coherence II manual at... | |
| JRDG Coherence II; Battery Display Issue Stew, if you determine that your batteries last significantly less than prior to the blackout, you may want to cycle the charge completely several times. The operation may restore some of their original charge capacity. If you require new batterie... | |
| Esoteric K-01 Golden words matjet that I shall heed... I would definitely do some careful at home trials before committing to any clock... or any new CDp, including K-01... A false positive can turn into an, uhrn.... Expensive proposition:)!Saluti, G. | |
| Esoteric K-01 "Unless the A-B comparison is performed as a blind test, it is useless; psychology can play tricks on audio perception."Very good point matjet.... Fact is that, I did perform exactly that "blind" test with G-0Rb clock on K-01 at the Esoteric suite... | |
| Esoteric K-01 Hi Matjet, it is quite possible that K-01 takes enormously less break-in than X-01 and its Ltd variant, for whatever reasons. Up to now, for most equipment I have had in my system, except for certain wire products and conditioners, I have detected... | |
| Esoteric K-01 Mattjet, utilizing the Esoteric break-in CD is an excellent idea. As for cycling power on and off periodically during break-in, I have just heard from an Esoteric dealer that Esoteric may be recommending 16 hrs of playing time, followed by 8 hours... | |
| Esoteric K-01 Epic, I'm afraid there may be no substitute to putting K-01 on continuous repeat on some "meaty" material with lots of dynamics and complexity. Once a day turn the device off for 30 minutes and then restart the process.... and change sampling rate... | |
| Esoteric K-01 Denon1, if your integrated amp has an input for an external preamplifier, you should be able to connect K-03 to that input directly, or through an XLR 2 RCA adapter. G. | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre Ian, try to determine if perhaps one of the seats for the balls is slightly deformed.... slightly too deep or slightly shallow... or is slightly misaligned... At which point the best thing to do will be to contact the JRDG factory. G. |
