| looking for a recording with nice wide soundstage Oystein Sevag's "Global House" CD from many years ago, still available on Amazon/from various Amazon sellers. Track 2 in particular has incredibly wide sound staging with digeridoos which open up far left (at least 6-8 feet) of the left speaker, p... | |
| Esoteric K-03 X - mechanical problems w tray So true.....Dual Discs often have computer-friendly content on one side (DVD side); why they chose to do this and make the discs thicker than standard CD and SACD is beyond me. | |
| Esoteric K-03 X - mechanical problems w tray No Esoteric transport or single-box player I have ever used supports "Dual Disc". You will get "Disc Error" every time.......its in the manuals as well, or at least it was/is for the DV-50X, UX-1, UX-1 Ltd, P-03, P03U and P-02. | |
| Whats the weirdest concert you ever attended? - One Lou Reed concert I attended years ago, not outwardly bizarre, but this weird combination of 'eclectic' happenings between the perfomers and the crowd....- Todd Rundgren's Utopia tour roudabout 1980, one particular concert in Western New York... | |
| Best Power Conditioner? Miguel,...if its all as good as I read people's comments stating it is for Tripoint, it could ruin me forever to hear it ! I would love to see more detail on what's actually happening in those units, i.e. the technological approach behind them and... | |
| Best Power Conditioner? Please note the last comment was made with a smile, LOL, etc...I simply don't think most mortals would ever be able to spend this kind of money on a system overall let alone one key layer of it. You are talking about a very rarefied slice of the s... | |
| Best Power Conditioner? That whole calculation on Tripoint will give one a moment of pause to be certain! $260K in Power Conditioning and Grounding....probable overall system cost with this substrate would be well north of $750K and much higher I would guess. Sounds like... | |
| receptacles Thanks for the feedback...glad to hear you found something you like that sounds good with your gear Deepak! | |
| receptacles Furutech GTX-D Gold and Avatar Acoustics Afterburner8 outlets both give clarity as well as natural and organic sound that is very musical. I like the Rhodium GTX-D's as well,... | |
| Bad experience with PurePower of Canada There are more than a few threads on this company with more current issues going back over the last 3-6 months to 3-4 years ago. They would not know 'the truth' or the concept of it or good customer service and integrity if it walked up and hit th... | |
| What's the solid state amp to buy $2500? A fellow audiophile and friend has a set of Harbeth 40.1s and now uses an Emotive XPA-2 stereo amp; definitely meets your price criteria. It has pits of hell bass, great high frequency and midrange response and drove the Harbeths without breaking ... | |
| Does a Good 20 amp cable Make a Difference I definitely have found that regardless of manufacturer of cables that I was using at the time, that the quality of the 20amp (or 15amp if applicable) powercord between the wall and your power conditioner absolutely makes a difference. Please do s... | |
| Cable Evolution Roxy/Acman3/JMC/others....ROTFLMAO, well said! Price and performance have nothing to do with each other and I would guess the original poster has some agenda to boot. | |
| Moving from the Esoteric P-05/ D-05 to the K-03 Syntax....I know, I faced the same confusion when the mention of the upgrade first came out followed shortly after by the announcement of the X-generation units (K03X, K01X, C02"X") in Japan. When I queried Esoteric/Onkyo and they did some digging... | |
| Moving from the Esoteric P-05/ D-05 to the K-03 Correct...Esoteric/Onkyo told me the same thing; the X upgrade for the K03 and K01 allows for only the new board and DSD playback in native format. Buying a new K03X or K01X gets you many other improvements beyond the upgraded board. From the Esot... |
