| Focal Scala or Diablos with subs? I have a room that's a bit larger than yours and run the Alto Utopias. I've also run them in smaller rooms than yours. Obviously they do better in larger rooms though not too large. I think that given the modest power of your amp, and assuming you... | |
| Best DVD Audio Player Today--New or Used The Meridian player has gotten very cheap on the used market, since it's rather old at this point. I think the Ayre and Meridian might be comparable in price unless you are referring to the newer Ayer universal player, which is a lot more expensiv... | |
| Esoteric P-03/D-03 or Esoteric K-03 Some useful comparisons posted at Arthur Salvatore's site:http://www.high-endaudio.com/RC-Digital.htmlTo sum up:"Compared to the Esoteric P-05/D-05 combination, the K-03 has more weight, body and impact. During dynamic peaks and complex music, it ... | |
| Best one-chasis CD/SACD player under $15 000? James6462, you say that the K-03 is very close to the K-01. I assume you've had a chance to compare. Could you elaborate further? There have been a lot of responses on this comparison with many assuming a step down for the K-03 and in some instanc... | |
| Best one-chasis CD/SACD player under $15 000? Ayon cd-5s does not play SACDs, correct? | |
| Best one-chasis CD/SACD player under $15 000? Gfroman, you mentioned the Modwright modded Oppo early in the thread and then mentioned the K-01 that I saw you advertise before. Have you compared both of these? I might be interested in either one, including your K-01. | |
| Abbingdon music research AMR cd-77 is how good? Audiofeil, I've noticed from recent years that you've been a dealer for the AMR as well as the Esoteric SACDPs. Could you compare the AMR with the K-01 and K-03? Thanks in advance. | |
| Esoteric P-03/D-03 or Esoteric K-03 That's a very good description, Zephyr. Thank you. I have an ASR Emitter II amp, so that's what I'll be using when I upgrade my SACDP. I get a really good sense now about what you think about these two particular sets of components. | |
| Esoteric P-03/D-03 or Esoteric K-03 Thanks for the replies. Zephyr, how did the P-03/C-03 combination that you have compare to the K-03? How close is the K-03 to the separates? I don't think I can go up to the K-01 due to price unless I wait a few years until more used ones come on ... | |
| Esoteric P-03/D-03 or Esoteric K-03 OK. Some helpful discussion here on this topic: http://www.head-fi.org/t/533409/new-esoteric-players-k-01-k-03-anyone-has-seen-or-heard/15 | |
| Esoteric P-03/D-03 or Esoteric K-03 Yeah, the K-1s are currently going used for about the same price as the P-03/D-03 combo used. But all of the ones I've seen on sale are out of my voltage. I'd prefer a 220-240 volt machine if I were to go that direction. The K-03 new where I live ... | |
| Stello ai500 Integrated amplifier? I was just at the Seoul Audio Show and heard the new Eximus preamp and amp running a pair of Wilson Sashas and I was very, very impressed, as I've always been from Simon Lee's units. April Music is fantastic company and I'm happy for you for your ... | |
| Amp and Preamp for JM Lab Alto Utopias I imagine the Devialet would be a good fit. Too bad they aren't distributed locally. Since I've purchased the ASR units, I'm done for now. | |
| Amp and Preamp for JM Lab Alto Utopias Well, that's nice I'm sure, but I'm not looking to change speakers. There are probably better speakers than the Altos, even in the Focal line. I've heard really great speakers outside my own, including the MBLs and the Magico Q7s, which I heard at... | |
| Amp and Preamp for JM Lab Alto Utopias Thanks Paul. I need to get those pics loaded up soon. The MF is a nice amp to be sure, and I very much enjoyed it for eight years, but this new amp is in another world. Thanks once again for the help and support! |
