| New Esoteric P02 D02 Well, I must say, I liked the styling of the D-02/P-02 better than the P1/D1 are surely growing on me. And I bought them more for listening than I did to look at....but looks are important! I am very impressed with Esoteric's voicing through these... | |
| When is digital going to get the soul of music? Notice that none of the original contributors to this thread are still chiming in! Good thing, the spelling and grammar was almost unreadable. Personally, I don't get all the fuss about this. If you read any of these threads long enough, it's appa... | |
| Question for all Esoteric owners with clocks ..... Hey Graebear, I am not familiar with your cables, but I have found all the clock cables I have used, the better the conductor purity the better I like them. The Valhalla's are 7n occ with silver, and for $800.00 NIB for 1 meter they are a steal. R... | |
| Question for all Esoteric owners with clocks ..... Graebear, It absolutely matters what cords you use. I have the G-01 clock, which I had mated with the D-02/P-02. I had Snake River Mamushi digital cables, which I perferred over the WireWorld Platinum Series 7 BNCs. I now have Valhalla BNCs, which... | |
| Esoteric X-01 versus Oppo 105 Darbee for CD audio? Really, the question is about comparing two different players... Value and price are always a concern! | |
| Rhode Island, Southeast Mass. Hi Mike, First week of June is good for me. Weekends are better, but whenever is good to get started. I live 10 minutes from Providence for reference, but am willing to do whatever it takes to get rocking. So set up a meeting and I'm in. You have ... | |
| Best older universal for CD playback?? Sony DV 9000 ES is outstanding, and it plays SACD 2 channel. I have this machine in my bedroom system and don't believe you could find a better player in the second hand market that fits your requirements. Sony put this player together too, it wei... | |
| Esoteric X-01 versus Oppo 105 Darbee for CD audio? Not in the same league with the X-01/D2 either. Now, you may not like the voicing of the Esoteric, but the Oppo is nowhere near the Esoteric in overall sound quality. The Esoteric excels in depth, delineation of tones and notes, weight, bass, etc.... | |
| Rhode Island, Southeast Mass. Hi Mike, Let's set up a place and a time, have a coffee or lunch or whatever and figure it out. Tom | |
| New Esoteric P02 D02 Hi Guys, The P1/D1 are in place in the rack and playing a CD in a repeat loop. I have listened to couple of songs, but no real critical listening yet. You know the kind of listening when your 3 1/2 year old son is helping you, buy checking out how... | |
| New Esoteric P02 D02 Hi guys, Picked my new pieces yesterday, very excited. First question my wife asked me, " where are you going to put all that ". Which is valid a question. Imagine having a three or four piece preamp, a five piece Digital source, a couple mono blo... | |
| New Esoteric P02 D02 Well, I have decided to go ahead and move on from the D-02/P-02. I have them listed, and at my asking price, it's hard to imagine that there are many rigs that sound like these. I really had trouble with this decision. When I moved through the Eso... | |
| New Esoteric P02 D02 Hey Guys, I would never abandon this thread. This has been the most truthful banter of audio opinions that I have read. I have learned much not only about the Esoterics, but of the many ancillary likes and dislikes of the D-02/P-02. There has been... | |
| New Esoteric P02 D02 Guys, If I go ahead and trade up for the new Esoterics, do I need to start a new thread. One thing about the D-02/P-02, the people who own them and share on this forum, are far and away the best audio people I've shared with, espiecally on this fo... | |
| New Esoteric P02 D02 Hey Guys, This is a real dilemma, of course you need a full system at the level of the D-02/P-02 to hear what fuss is about, and hear lies the problem. With all the new gear out there spouting all these new spec's and claims at a tenth the price, ... |
