| Esoteric K-05 or K-07? Hi Yashu,If lush is your train ticket then the Esoteric is not the right train! | |
| Vivid Audio Giya G1 If you can get past the odd look of the design and think you could live with the strange shape long term - then auditioning the Vivid Audio Giya is a must. As Audiooracle notes the bass is deep. That said, like Mezmo, I have far preferred the more... | |
| Big Step Up from Totem Hawks? 10k Speakers? I went from Totem Hawks, which I agree are great value for money to the Raidho Acoustics C1 speakers. 2nd hand the Raidho C1 is less than $10k. It was a very big step up both in terms of resolution and bass definition. | |
| Is Cary Audio still selling CD Players? I had a Cary 306 Pro for nearly five years. It was reliable and did not skip.I am scratching my head re opinion expressed above that the Cary is bright! I never found this to be the case. The Cary is fairly neutral but does offer a hint of warmth ... | |

| Any experience with Esoteric K-05? Hi Jeffkad,Trumps as in plainly elevated above or prevailing...Remember though, this is all subjective stuff; a comparison using my ears and my reference system does not mean one machine is better than the other.All I can say is that located withi... | |
| Any experience with Esoteric K-05? Hi Jeffkad,In my otherwise neutral playback system as described above the scorecard on the Cary Audio 306 Pro vs. the Esoteric K-03 reads like this.The Esoteric trumps the Cary for outright resolution, sound-stage depth and object edging, treble e... | |
| Cary 306 pro compare to EMM cdsa se I have a Cary 306 pro and I think it fits your requirement i.e. "musical non fatiguing machine" that is also good in resolution and dynamics. I find the Dynaudio C1 a bit bright so the Cary may help with that too. |
