| Esoteric VRDS-NEO not reading discs Thanks for the update Russ. Very disappointing and kind of what I expected from TAP. That place will not get my business unless I am forced to use it. I agree that a player of that build and price should be much more reliable. In a cosmic univ... | |
| Esoteric VRDS-NEO not reading discs Russ, Greetings Have you got the K01 squared away and spinning? Curious how you made out with the repair and if it is completed to your satisfaction? Appreciate an update. Cheers | |
| Esoteric VRDS-NEO not reading discs Thanks for the update Russ. I look forward (with trepidation) about how your issue is resolved. I will do everything I can to avoid the California place if and when mine needs service. My friend and I both had terrible experiences with that pl... | |
| Patricia Barber - Cafe Blue is an effects album Love her voice, verve, composition, and to me she is a true talent Some of the very best digital recording ever done in my opinion. Prefer Companion and then Cafe Blue. The SACD's are killer. But if you don't dig her, I guess you can sell your... | |
| Esoteric VRDS-NEO not reading discs Russ, He runs Music Technology and on the website he does list sacd/cd repair service. I have a lot of respect for Bill and if he can take it on I am confident that he can fix it if the special alignment jig is not required for the repair. Other... | |
| Esoteric VRDS-NEO not reading discs Sorry to hear about your Esoteric issue. I wish I had a answer. I would contact Bill Thalman and make an inquiry as to availability and possible repair. He is excellent and I have used him for Conrad Johnson repairs/mods in the past and he was ... | |

| Received The MC2000 Back From Expert Stylus Today Any cartridge would sound good through those kick ass JBL's The 2000 was a holy grail type acquisition back in the day Should be killer for sure | |
| 2nd system thoughts on vintage receivers I bought a Fisher 500C refurbed by AEA for a second system in 20016 and it has been an absolute delight. I paid for some upgrades to the phono section and tube bias section and the Fisher has been rock solid reliable and joy to listen to. Used ... | |
| Attention Esoteric CD/SACD Players Owners Hey Stereo5 I have a XO3SE and a K01 and have had really impressive results (to me) with Triode Wire Labs interconnects. I run both through tube systems and enjoy the presentation and detail. I have used Goertz, MIT, and audioquest and prefe... | |

| Thoughts on moving from a 1200G to Sota Saphire or above I have a SOTA Cosmos with vac hold down done up to VI specs with the mag platter, roadrunner and condor. I also have a JVC QLY5F with an Ort Bronze. I use a Ort Kontrapunkt B with bob's devices on the SOTA.As you would expect the SOTA clearly ha... | |
| Advice Regarding Reel-to-Reel Sounds like a good dealI would advise getting ahold of Skywave deck repair. Worth the wait as Sam Palmero (sp?) was the lead tech for Teac and can make it sing like new.I would NOT send it to Teac for repair and would use Skywave exclusively unle... | |
| FR64S tonearm overhaul Congratulations on your scoreMy buddy has the FR64S silver wired and it is a fantastic arm. He basically gifted me a FR64FX with the B60 base when I got his SOTA sapphire (he had two).The Zu phono cable was very cost effective and I used it for ... |
