| Esoteric K-01/K-03 Owners This may be old news but what is of greater interest will be to hear the experience of anyone who has tried out this DSD upgrade. | |
| Help with Preamp selection Congrats! You won't be disappointed. Keep us posted as to your experience with it. Cheers! J. | |
| Help with Preamp selection I would grab this great piece asap, if I hadn't already got one myself. It has done wonders for my system. JA/Stereophile rates it a "solid Class A".Here's a link to a good discussion on the Ayre K5-xeMP, with some brief comparison to ARC, VTL and... | |

| Kimber Silver Streak for a warm system I use a pair of Kimber Silver Streaks between preamp and amp(both solid state). The SS's would fit well into your system if it is on the relaxed side but may have too much zing on top in an already bright system.Hope this helps. | |

| Bryston 28bsst2 worthy upgrade from a krell fpb70? Here's a link that may be of interest :-ftp://ftp.bryston.com/pub/reviews/Aust_HiFi_July_Bryston_2014.pdf | |
| Bryston 28bsst2 worthy upgrade from a krell fpb70? No argument there. God has spoken. Amen. | |
| Bryston 28bsst2 worthy upgrade from a krell fpb70? I agree that the Bryston 28B SST2's input impedance may be challenging to some preamps but specs tell only part of the story. My previous preamp, the Jeff Rowland Capri S2 is spec'd at 80 ohms. While this is more than the 20 times rule for the Bry... | |
| Esoteric K-01 and Aurender S10 compatibility That's awesome. Keep us posted if and when you can't resist the urge to upgrade to the KX-R20. | |
| Bryston 28bsst2 worthy upgrade from a krell fpb70? The Bryston 28B SST2 is the one enquired by Lecram, not the first generation 28B. The SST2 version sounds a whole lot different and better. | |
| Esoteric K-01 and Aurender S10 compatibility Jon47,Yes, hold on tight to your K-01. Its DAC section is still right up there for redbook/SACD SQ.I recently acquired a new preamp, the Ayre K-5xeMP that is rated Class A by JA of Stereophile for approx US$3500. I can't believe it but this analog... |
