| Esoteric . . . your thoughts please I can also confirm that during a single 2 hour listening session in my system, Berkely Alpha DAC has slower somewhat thicker bass than my X-01 Limited. On the other hand, Alpha is somewhat sharper and less relaxed than X-01, with X-01 seeming also... | |
| Esoteric . . . your thoughts please Thank you Dennis, since then I have been experimenting with the Shunyata King Cobra CX. . . and I like it even more than the Helix Anaconda Alpha. The good news is that the new Shunyata CX series has completely abandoned the FeSi filtering materia... | |
| Esoteric . . . your thoughts please "The D-05 has just been released. . ."Oops, that was wrong. . . I meant to say that the D-07 has just been released, not the D-05. And of course, at this time, we have no information on the musical prowess of D-07.. . . Apologies for confusion. G. | |
| Esoteric . . . your thoughts please I have been a proud and delighted owner of an Esoteric X-01 Limited for almost 4 years. There appears to be a sonic characteristic in common with most Esoteric players. . . discount anything they do be fore you have put about 1200 hours of break-i... | |
| Rowland model 5 vs Threshold S500 series II Gents, I am not aware that David was trying to disparage Mr. Rowland in any shape or form. Reality is that when a small company with finite resources is in furious development of 4 new major offerings, the updating of an older discontinued product... | |
| Playback Designs MPS-5 Review in Stereophile Jb0194, personal 'density' freely admitted. . . but I do not understand the causality chain implied in your post. | |
| Shunyatas New CX series Thank you Sherod, the remarkable thing about King Cobra CX is that it seems to yield a touch of 'romantic' spirit but without any of the overt euphony, imprecisions, glossing over, or bloat often associated with the word. . . . it feels like havin... | |
| Shunyatas New CX series I have been a fan of Shunyata PCs for a few years, and have owned Anaconda Helix Alpha and VX. I have recently tried the Shunyata King Cobra CX to my Rowland 312 power amplifier with excellent results. King Cobra CX appears to share the general ch... | |
| PC for Rowland 312 and others? Have not posted to this thread for quite a while, so here is a quick update. I have recently applied the Shunyata King Cobra CX to my Rowland 312 with excellent results. King Cobra CX appears to share the general character of graceful neutrality o... | |
| Esoteric P03 - D03 Classicjazz, have you already compared P-03/D-03 combo side by side with X-01 D2? Any comments? G. | |
| Esoteric P03 - D03 Eli, you should consider asking best way to connect D-03/P-03 directly to Esoteric (TEAC America). Call Tim Crable at 323) 726-0303.May I ask what settings you were using for your redbooks and SACDs on D2?. . . e.g. oversampling to DSD for redbook... | |
| High Current SS amps with input impedance = 200K Thank you Al, the figures of 40 to 45 Amps on peak current are inline with published specs for ICEpower 1000 ASP offerings from several other manufacturers. It is worth while pointing out that the 1000 ASP module is capable of yielding a more/less... | |
| High Current SS amps with input impedance = 200K In the particular case of the Bel canto Ref 1000 Mk.2s, the 'moderate' peak current of 45 amps is deceptively low. . . As the 1000 Mk.2s have a balanced output with active positive and negative leads on the speaker terminals, the current is roughl... | |
| Best amp to Partner with Jeff Rowland Criterion Sounds good to me, David! G. | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre I have not had the opportunity of performing a side-by-side comparison with Burmester, Viola, or FM Acoustic. Any of these would make for a very interesting analitical review project. G. |
