| Esoteric UX-1: How "noisy"? Guido, new boxes? I'll check it out. Thanks. | |
| Esoteric UX-1: How "noisy"? Thanks for the info, guys. I called Esoteric directly and got the upgrade scheduled for July 10th in about three minutes. Seems like if you want information, the audiophile network is better informed than the dealer/rep/manufacturer chain! | |
| Esoteric UX-1: How "noisy"? Guido, yes, if the Esoteric distributor in the Northeast ever gets its act together to set up the upgrade process, which at present rate doesn't look like it will happen before the next upgrade. | |
| Esoteric UX-1: How "noisy"? Glad your problem was solved--didn't sound like it was a general Esoteric problem based on my experience, and I have both an X-01 and DV-50. But I'm puzzled by Jfz's comments--live concerts must be hell for you. I'll take an incidental living-plac... | |
| Esoteric UX-1: How "noisy"? On the X-01, only on start-up for a couple of seconds when I've just started it up, at the player, not from my listening chair, and certainly not when music is playing. My player rests on an isolation platform with cone feet, which rest in 4 Aurio... | |
| Best Amps match for Egglestonworks Andra 2 ? I've tried a number of amps, first with the original Andras and then with Andra IIs, and the best by far have been the McIntosh 501s. Several years ago they were the amps Eggleston recommended with the AIIs and Savoys, although they may now be rec... | |
| Esoteric UX-3 vs. XO-3 Another sad collection of writeoffs of SACD. Sure, Sony seems to have abandoned it--what hasn't Sony abandoned over the years?--but at least the small label classical and audiophile labels haven't, and just a casual look seems to suggest that it i... | |
| JM Lab Nova Be or Eggleston Savoy? Thought I'd respond to your question about a big room. I have Andra IIs in a 23'X 13.5' X 9' room, and while the A IIs sound superb, I would have some real hesitation about a pair of Savoys in that room, especially in the bass. I heard the Savoys ... | |
| Vandersteen 5A or Eggleston Works Andra II I'm a bit puzzled by the narrowness of this thread: why Vandersteen vs. Eggleston? I'm not particularly a Vandersteen lover, but lots of people are. I own a pair of Andra II's and truly love them, but one major reason for my purchase is that they ... | |
| Atma-Sphere amps with Eggleston Andra II's I'm of two minds on this discussion. On the one hand, I had Andras which have been converted to Andra II's, and there is no question that the original Andras couldn't be driven by less than 300-350 watts per side. When I spoke to Eggleston, they r... | |
| Esoteric X-01 Limited or new D-03/P-03 Thanks to all of you for the upgrade information. Can hardly wait, but I guess there's not much choice. | |
| Esoteric X-01 Limited or new D-03/P-03 Does anyone know if Esoteric is doing an upgrade for X-01s to Limiteds? | |
| Medium Floorstander for McIntosh/Esoteric CD 5000 You really should listen to the Dali Helican 400s. I think they're about $4,500, but certainly don't sound it. If I set up a second system, they're the first things I will consider. | |
| Ayre Acoustics and Egglestonworks A thought for you--the Mac 501s are a superb match for the Andra IIs. I put them in on a demo 18 months ago and never took them out. The Eggleston people love the combination. | |
| dcs owners-- Ozy, sorry, I've been away all month spending $ on non-audiophile stuff. Can't help on anything you asked, especially power cords. My system components are plugged into a Burmester line conditioner, and maybe that's the reason, but I've tried a nu... |
