New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre
Kclone, I have just checked with the factory, and Corus has not been released yet. I'll keep monitoring periodically. G. 
Esoteric P03 - D03
Eli, I suspect that with 200 or 300 hours you will have just tickled the P-03/D-03 combo into life. . . not really broken it in. Expect the two creatures to evolve for much longer until they reach musical maturety.

When is digital going to get the soul of music?

Bel Canto Ref1000 MK2 Or Ref 500m ?
Giuseppe, I have not yet conducted a sonic comparison of Ref 1000M with 500M. . . at this point I am only guestimating that 500M may be a little sweeter. If you are testing the 1000M (or Mk.2) ensure that they have enough hours on them. They are l... 
Bel Canto Ref1000 MK2 Or Ref 500m ?
Thank you Henry, you are absolutely correct. I have since called Bel canto and asked further information about differences between Ref 500M and Ref 500S.* Both amplifiers make use of the ICEpower 500 ASX2 modules in bridged configuration. They do ... 
Bel Canto Ref1000 MK2 Or Ref 500m ?

Bel Canto Ref1000 MK2 Or Ref 500m ?
I love the Bel Canto Ref 1000 Mk.2, now renamed Ref 1000M. I have reviewed it for PFO:http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue43/bel_canto_ref1000.htmI have heard the Ref 500M at shows at significant length, but not in my system. I have heard unconf... 
Pass amps + Power Cords ??
Thank you Kurt_tank, in this particular case, the Goldilockian principle is not applied to price, which can be easily found on the Cable Company's fine web site, except for the Furutech High End Performance wires, which being custom wires assemble... 
Pass amps + Power Cords ??
Uhrn, while I invite all and sundry to avoid jibing "ad hominem", it is equally true -- at least in my limited fiddling experience -- that with one notable exception, power cords have had an influence on the sound of my electronic components in on... 
Esoteric . . . your thoughts please
Congratulations Thefirstchorus! Keeps us posted on the evolution of its sound during break in. . . and be patient and steadfast with it. . . Esoteric gear does not make for easy instant gratification. . . but the end result is pretty glorious! G.   
PS Audio Perfectwave DAC vs. Esoteric D-05
Catastrofe, I'd love also to hear about anyone's comparative findings on these 2 units. G. 
Esoteric . . . your thoughts please
Catastrofe, what do you use as a source/transport? G. 
Esoteric . . . your thoughts please
Who perform the modification to the Wadia 521, and what was modified/changed, and with what perceivable audible differences? G.
