| My thoughts on my new Esoteric k03xd CD player. My K series player sounds fine with Cds. Some Cds sound unpleasant, but it’s not the player’s fault. | |
| My thoughts on my new Esoteric k03xd CD player. Thanks for the review. I own a plain old K series Esoteric and I like it a lot. Maybe one of these days I'll make it up to the K XD series. | |
| The meaning of “Remastered” I know lots of people have their favorite versions of various albums, but is there a resource that tracks the versions and comments on what changes have been made?I don’t think there’s a simple way to find the best versions of particular albums. N... | |
