| Esoteric X-01 SE vs EMM CDSA SE Yes it was the X-O1. But I don't think that they are able to make this new one sound more natural en more revolving. It will still have the analyticle sound. | |
| Esoteric X-01 SE vs EMM CDSA SE We compared sacd on the Esoteric X-01 and the cd layer on the 808. The X-01 had more power in the low freq., but overall we found the 808 better. I tested many sacd recordings and a lot of them make instruments and voices sound to big. And that is... | |
| Esoteric X-01 SE vs EMM CDSA SE There is one player you should audition, it is the Meridian 808i. We comparred it with the Esoteric X-O1. And I was surprised how much better it was compared to the X-O1. Only when played on sacd the low frq. where better. All the other aspects th... | |
| Wadia301 861 Listen to a Meridian GO8, which sounds more analogue and had a very good bass reproduction. The bass can go deep and will let you hear every small detail. | |
| Anyone settled in on Purist Aqueous interconnects? When I comparred the cardas gold. ref with a Nordost Valhalla I had exactely the same result. You wil miss a lot of resolution. Because the Cardas filters a part in the middle freq. When we went back to the Valhalla you knew you missed a lot of in... | |
| B+W 800D vs 801D There has been written an article about these two in one test in a German magazine in 2005. | |
| B+W 800D vs 801D The 801 has more drive in the low freq. But the 800 has more speed and accuracy. It also depends what your own preference is. Abbey Road used the 801 Nautilus for many years, but now they use the 800D. The 801 is a lot cheaper. And the 800 looks s... | |
| Wadia 861se with GNS vs Esoteric or Emm players A friend of mine had a small concert room with a Steynway. It didn't matter where I was in the room. A voice of a woman or an instrument was always focused and small.This had become a very important part for me to judge. When you listen to SACD yo... | |
| Wadia 861se with GNS vs Esoteric or Emm players I don't think the 800 is the best player in the world and I am either not a dvd-a fan. I am a fan of music and I prefer music as natural as possible. And that means also the right proportions and a natural sound. And sacd can't do this, that is a ... | |
| Upgrade Rec $7K-$12K Range w/ Duos and Audiopax Listen to a Meridian 808. We comparred it to a Esoteric X-01, and the Meridian was so much better. | |
| Wadia 861se with GNS vs Esoteric or Emm players It is not correct because the proportions of an instrument and also voices are many times to big. Pcm gives a better individual focus and the right proportion. I am using a Meridian 800 Dax v4 ( and no I am not pro dvd-a ) I talked to people who m... | |
| Wadia 861se with GNS vs Esoteric or Emm players Sacd is a system what is incorrect and not natural sounding. I hope there will be a system what will sound more natural. But until now we have to wait for it .... | |
| Wadia 861se with GNS vs Esoteric or Emm players I also did a lot of testing sacd comparred to redbook and dvd-a. I bought many sacd's and also the same records on dvd-a for my work. All the dvda's where a lot better than the sacd recordings. I did a lot of blind testing for our customers. Peopl... | |
| Wadia 861se with GNS vs Esoteric or Emm players For that money you can buy also a Meridian 808. We recently comparred the Esoteric X-01 with the Meridian 808. The Meridian was of an other leage and superior in many ways to the X-01. Just listen to it and you'll understand.... | |
| Longer Power Cords Sound better? I did a lot of testing many powercables. And yess there are cables who sound better when they are longer. Cables of 1 metre comparred to a cable of 2 metres I found out that a 2m cable in many situations sounds better. For example, Nordost starts ... |
