In need of amp upgrade suggestions fliz - Thanks very much for your recommendation. I'm not familiar with eXemplar Audio, but am now looking into and doing online research. | |
In need of amp upgrade suggestions Though I have not auditioned in my system, I have listened to two different systems w/ Dan's KWA 100 and 150SE (one w/ Daedalus Ulysses, one w/ Magico's). Just not the resolution I'm looking for - seemed a bit rolled off on upper frequencies and ... | |
Esoteric A-80 Power Amp I'm interested in improving on my Simaudio Moon W-5 of several yrs. I like the qualities this amp brings to the system - tight, extended low freq., well balanced mids/upper freq., and above all, retains the presentation at low amplitude listening.... | |
Esoteric A-80 Power Amp Bumping on an old post here, but I too am very curious. Anyone have any input? | |
Esoteric X-03se vs K-03 Well I finally have the opportunity to have a K-03 in the home for little while, on loan from a colleague whos in the recording industry. Keeping in mind that these are very early impressions, as Ive only been able to A/B for a few days thus far... | |
Esoteric X-03se vs K-03 Thanks, Cerrot. With the X-03se, I've always been impressed with both redbook and sacd. Obviously, a difference in presentation bet. formats, but both with tremendous detail, staging, and frequency balance. Depending on the recording, the X-03se c... | |
Esoteric X-03se vs K-03 Thanks Cerrot for your perspective. Opinion in more than one publ. review seems to be that redbook CD playback is somewhat disappointing, although SACD's are stellar. Similarly with just using it as a DAC seems to be far preferred. Do you concur w... | |
Esoteric X-03se vs K-03 Yes, I've noticed from previous threads, etc. that we have similar equipment and sonic interests, Dodgealum. I wish it were possible for me to audition a K-03 along side our X-03se, but no regional dealers within a day's drive. Let's hope that one... | |
Simaudio 610LP vs Esoteric E-03 phono stages Thanks, Moonguy. Will definitely be doing more research/reading on both the 610 and 810, although admittedly, these price points are significant from the Andros & E-03. You mentioned at one point the E-03 was on your short list prior to acquir... | |
"Famous Blue Raincoat".. Interesting to read your opinion on FBR. I've always found Jennifer's, The Hunter, to be far superior both sonically as well as material. I've never fully understood the attraction to FBR. | |
Simaudio 610LP vs Esoteric E-03 phono stages Hi Moonguy - Been awhile on this thread, as I'm also very curious as to your thoughts/comparisons bet. the Andros, 610lp, and the E-03. I'm presently in a very similar situation, having the Zesto Andros, along with a Simaudio W-5/P-5 amp/preamp co... | |
Herron VTPH-1 vs Allnic H1201 I had the VTPH-2 in my system for about 2 yrs before I decided to audition/keep the Zesto Andros. It was a toss up, really - both had particular aspects of the presentation that were favorable to the other, IMHO. Indeed, Keith is just one of the g... | |
Velodyne - SPL or HGS? Thanks Bill. I seem to recall this fact too when I acquired my SPL1000 - the HGS just being a bit over-budget at the time. Since then, I've noticed many HGS owners discussing issues w/ the internal amp blowing, assuming normal use. I've never had ... | |
Magico VS Daedalus VS Marten VS Spendor Given your room size, I might add my recommendation for the Daedalus Athena. I was fortunate enough to acquire Lou's first pair of these (as displayed on his web page), that were touted to RMAF and N.E.W. a couple years ago. Though you can never s... | |
VAC Owners:Outboard Phono Stage? Alonski: I bit late to this party perhaps, but thought I would share a few thoughts. Back in May, I had an opportunity to A/B my EAR 834p Deluxe with the Herron VTPH2 for a couple weeks in my system. Ultimately went with the VTPH 2, as it presente... |
