| Esoteric: new cd players Thanks. Different opinions. | |
| Last CD player? Hi,I am certainly very happy with the Esoteric K05x, which can also function as a DAC. I found a distinct improvement over the Meridian 588 in sound stage and detail. Some people might find it a little too detailed I suppose; one could not descr... | |
| Last CD player? Hi,Since Monday, I have been trying out the Esoteric K05x, and I am very impressed. I hear things I never heard before; the level of detail is amazing. Also, the sound stage is large and very precise; I can hear where the different drums are in ... | |
| Last CD player? Today, I listened to the Esoteric K03x at a dealer about 40 miles away. I was impressed by the sound stage and the separation of the individual instruments.The dealer said there isn't a K05x in Britain just now I could listen to. Has anyone comp... | |

| Last CD player? The Bricasti indeed has excellent reviews, and I like the fact that they do upgrades at a reasonable cost. Hopefully, that would also be the case here in Britain. Coupled with an OK transport, it looks like a possible way to go. Even if the tra... | |
| Last CD player? I have never owned a hifi component with valves. Do they need replacing regularly? I have read that the supply of Nuvistors is limited. Is it so that the Nuvista's output only uses the valves in the non-balanced oujtput?I'll have a look at the ... | |
| Last CD player? I have thought about buying a DAC, but I am somewhat confused about if it is necessary to couple that with an expensive transport once the Meridian dies.I agree the warranty should be longer; if I buy the Esoteric, and it packs up after 13 months,... |
