| "Epic" compositions worth giving a spin Personal favorites listed below, some already mentioned. You can add to this list any one of 100s of symphonies and tone poems but the likes of Bruckner, Dvorak, Strauss, Mahler, Sibelius, Elgar, Shostakovich, etc....the list goes on and on.Camel:... | |
| 15A vs. 20A power cord questions I did not find the GTX-D Rhodium or Gold outlets to be loose on any blade; I did not find them to have the heavy locking behavior of my old Oyaide R1s either. The GTX-Ds were easy to work with when it came to stock power cords and the blades coul... | |
| 15A vs. 20A power cord questions asp307: What I meant was their first point at which I considered them and the sound profile of the system with them, fully broken in. I heard another increase in sound quality somewhere in the 1000-1500 hour range; after that, no other increases i... | |
| Esoteric SACD Titles They are excellent....and the folks at Esoteric have pulled out some great out performances to work their magic upon. They are pricey but definitely worth it. Another source of great discs remastered and laid down with vinyl-like quality and soun... | |

| WARNING - USE UPS FOR SHIPPING RATHER THAN FEDEX bassdude: that is exactly my experience with SBA as well; every box strapped and then ALSO thick plastic shrink-wrapped to a single pallet! I received an Esoteric C-03 preamp and Master clock this way and other components in different shipments ov... | |

| 15A vs. 20A power cord questions I had a Bybee Stealth v3 power conditioner that utilized a combination of those GTX-D Rhodium and Gold duplexes; they took 350-500 hours to reach their initial best sound. Your patience will be well rewarded. As an aside, I have had very good res... | |
| WARNING - USE UPS FOR SHIPPING RATHER THAN FEDEX FedEx appears to be slipping again in many key ways including what the OP is talking about. They may say they insure the contents but try filing a claim and having it go quickly with proper reimbursement; that's another thing altogether!. In addit... | |
| Esoteric K-03X: All Esoteric players and transports I have either owned or demo-ed (DV-50S, X-03, X-01, UX-3, UX-1, P03, P02, etc...) allow you to select SACD or CD layer as the default. Look for 'Play Area' button on the Esoteric remotes or '2ch/Multi-ch' in th... | |
| Esoteric K-03X: ????? mmbl62: Your last 2 posts are partial and we cannot know what your question is....please post again. | |
| 15A vs. 20A power cord questions Absolutely true,..by the same token though, all manufacturers of power cords sold to audiophiles have one version of that power cord and then offer 15amp or 20amp plugs as an option. They don't wire the cord any differently for 15 versus 20 amp ap... | |
| Esoteric K-03X: I believe the default on most if not all Esoteric units when shipped from the factor is XLR but you should use the simple menu/config setup to verify that upon arrival... | |
| Esoteric K-01X or K-03X?? "The 22Mhz master clock in the K-01X synchronizes to the PERF-10 at 10Mhz, and all other frequencies are derived within the CDP.You don't need a G-02. If you purchase a Perf-10, get it with the optional 12Vdc power port for use with an outboard l... |
