| Esoteric K-03 or Luxman D-03x Thanks. I ordered a Luxman D-03X player based on reviews and the input from other members here and now just have to wait for it to arrive. It will be a while since the distributor, Luxman USA, is waiting for new product to arrive in the US from Ja... | |
| Esoteric K-03 or Luxman D-03x Happy New Year to everyone. Thanks to all those Goners who graciously offered their experience and advise | |
| Esoteric K-03 or Luxman D-03x 68pete,Thanks for your reply. I had an older Esoteric K-03 that I was close to buying but things just didn't work out for a few reasons. I'm sure it would have been an excellent player but I was so afraid of buying an older player because of the d... | |
| Esoteric K-03 or Luxman D-03x mountainsong402,I appreciate your input. I don't think I've heard or read anything negative about Luxman players. You have a very, very nice group of Luxman players so I'm guessing your experience with Luxman would be far better than most others. ... | |
| Esoteric K-03 or Luxman D-03x trebor32,In your opinion, after owning the D-05u, how does the D-03X compare? I've heard some say the the D-03x is better than the D-05U and compares favorably to the D-06U. I only play Red Book cd's and really don't miss not having SACD capabilit... | |
| Esoteric K-03 or Luxman D-03x I'm getting more confused. I want a simple set-up but the more I investigate the options, being locked into a one-box unit has its' disadvantages as well as its' advantages. I've just always had the one-box option but it hasn't worked out too good... | |
| Esoteric K-03 or Luxman D-03x I tried to contact TAP earlier today and they're closed until January 2021. Not much they can do to help at this point | |
| Esoteric K-03 or Luxman D-03x You all make valid points. I've never owned anything other than a one-box unit so I really hadn't seriously considered a separate transport and dac. Maher123, I agree that most every issue that I've had was a transport related one while the dac co... | |
| Luxman D-03x or Marantz KI Ruby Thank you all. I took a leap of faith and just bit the bullet and purchased a Marantz SA-10. I believe a got a good deal on it so that it didn't end up being a whole lot more than what I could have bought a KI Ruby for. I really wanted balanced ou... | |
| Luxman D-03x or Marantz KI Ruby The system I'm currently using is a Boulder 1060 amp being fed by an Aesthetix Janus. I had a Wadia 861(GNSC Statement) that I loved but ultimately had a transport failure and I wasn't able to find someone to repair it. I moved on to and Esoteric ... | |
| Who besides TAP can repair an Esoteric UX 03-SE Thank you sir. I appreciate the input. Virginia is a whole lot closer to South Carolina than California. I'll reach out to Bill to see if he can help me. | |
| Who besides TAP can repair an Esoteric UX 03-SE Sorry, I live in Beaufort, SC which is a small town on the southeast coast not too far from Hilton Head and about 50 miles from Savannah, GA. There isn't much around here to say the least, but it's beautiful! | |
| Charging A Fee To Demo An Amplifier In A Brick & Mortar Store I've been in the retail automobile business for over forty years. While I realize that the two businesses are different, if we treat all of our potential customers with courtesy and respect we might have a chance to earn their business. While I re... | |
| Watched the MTV awards that night I watched most of it. I'm an old fart but enjoy music of most any genre. While I hadn't listened to much of what I heard on the show before last night, one artist "the Weekend" really put on a fantastic performance. Find it somewhere and listen to... | |
| Tenor OTL 75wi vs 175s I also owned a pair of Tenor 75WI around the same time that Mike owned his. I actually spoke with him prior to buying mine. They were "magical" but didn't really work well with my speakers either. Mine ran out of gas just as yours do. I was concer... |
