I heard a costly system from Esoteric.
Yea its better to have a High End OPPO 103 Clone that Ayre has no parts for at all should anything go wrong. (And they havent had parts for it going back to 2016 when I first inquired).  Get the most out of your 50 Pound Doorstop while you can. LO...

Vitus....The K-03 is over a decade old. The 3XD is not the one that replaced it. Your forgetting the K-03X, K-03XS and maybe another one that my old brain cant remember. Esoterics UPGRADE cycle is like every 2-3 years when they spin out the replac...

13K doesnt even get you anywhere near a TOTL CD/DAC Player. MSRP for those is around 35K for Esoteric All in one solution and MUCH more for MSB. If you go for the separates (Spinner and Dac) you'll probably be near the 100K Range Your completely ... 
Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure
I clearly hear a difference in the V1 and V2's in the extended highs. Just listen to the last song they provide (Knopfler) and wait for the Guitar solo near the end. It wails on the V2 compared to the V1. (I am an owner of the V1 so Im voting aga...

Esoteric has never been known as being one of the top performing Amp companies.  The CD player you mentioned wasnt anywhere near TOTL well over a decade ago. The "3" is the middle of the road with only 2 lower models and that series is like 5 or 6...

Why are we talking about the performance of gear from 2009/2010?? Esoteric players now dont even use DAC Chips. The new ones sound absolutely phenomenal. Build quality and DAC are incredible....get up to speed OP!!

He definitely had the Enleum...not the Bakoon. Guess it was the 23. His speakers are AG Duo’s and Fleetwood Deville. Obviously different results with different speakers so take it for what its worth. The Valvet is about Half the price of the Enleu...

My buddy just ditched the Higher Enleum (53??) because he preferred both the Luxman 595 and Valvet E3 SE in his setup.  
Fleetwood Sound Company
My buddy just ditched his Enleum 51 because he preferred both the Luxman 595 Integrated and the Valvet E3 with his Deville's. Different likes for different tykes! 
AGD Audion GaN Class D In The House
Bakoon doesnt exist anymore under that name and all the Bakoon models are now outdated and improved under the new brand name. ENLEUM     
Sansui 2000X
Go to the AUDIOKARMA website. There are HUNDREDS of people there that only use vintage gear.  Audiogon is def not the place to ask advice about 70's gear  
Omega Speakers Turnaround Time

Best SS Amp - Pass Labs X350.8 vs. Luxman M900u vs. Ayre VX-R Twenty
Once Charles Died people just shied away I imagine. Same thing would happen if Dagostino or some other well known designer of a particular brand departed us. Shindo is another brand that suffered sales/interest after Ken Shindo passed.  
Review: Aric Audio Super 6SN7 preamp
