| Best preamp for my system. Would love to hear it some day soon if I can make it north of the border! I'll take a look at the Bybee speaker bullets as well. BTW...Esoteric C-03 pre-amp is a beautiful unit! If you get a chance to hear one, you should do so! | |
| Classe ssp 600 vs 800 ? I know from owning it the balanced bypass for 2-ch on the SSP-600 is very good. I've heard the SSP-800 is much better in every way. What I found particularly effective was to utilize an SSP-600 for surround decoding and to handle the center, LS/RS... | |
| Best preamp for my system. Let us know how it turns out...it's always great to hear about your latest audio adventures! | |
| Best preamp for my system. I'm about 460 hours into break-in on an Esoteric C-03 preamp. This unit is truly something special. I now know first hand why it won 2 Blue Moon awards from 2 different reviewers on 6moons! | |
| Legacy Speakers?? Legacy Focus HDs are a great speaker however Jay is right, grab the SEs if you can.... | |
| Legacy SE versus Vandersteen Quatros Doug/Sthomas: I always enjoy seeing your posts as they are objective and just try to help people out to enjoy music more.Let's face it, there are alot of good speakers on the planet; the Vandy line being among them. I've only had limited listening... | |
| Esoteric K-01 Alex: It's been a couple years but as I remember it, the differences for re-clocking the UX-1 and the UX-1 Ltd with the G-0s were subtle and were noticeable only in the upper-mid and particular higher frequencies in terms of removing a slight hars... | |
| Ayon CD5 or a super DAC with high resolution files I have not heard the CD-5 or CD-5s directly. There are many who have and love it (and have purchased it and/or reviewed it). It not only appears to be a killer RBCD player and DAC but also a pre-amp please don't forget to factor that into your thi... | |
| Esoteric P03 D03 owners: To clock or not to clock Eeliio08 and Babybear: Thanks for the feedback! I'll give DSD another try, this time without the filter. For the clock, it likes a decent cable but you don't have to over-spend. Something of the cost/quality of a Audience PowerChord "e" or similar... | |
| Esoteric C-03 Break In Time Frontier: Do you still have the C-03? What are your impressions after all this time with this pre-amp? Thanks! | |
| Esoteric K-01 Keeping to the topic: I utilized a G-0s in Rb-oscillator mode at 176.5 clocking rate with my UX-1 Limited; I did find a perceivable improvement in the sound. It was more subtle in some ways but was there and was noticeable when the clock was remov... | |
| Esoteric P03 D03 owners: To clock or not to clock For RBCD playback in Dual-AES configuration (not taken to DSD), I've found 176.4 clocking and 176.4 up-sampling is the best combination with my stack. I tried 88.2 and while it is good, I tend to like 176.4 better. BTW...I also tend to run with th... | |
| Esoteric Digital Separates I'm not sure about overseas from Granite but I cannot see how they wouldn't. I got mine through Mark at Music Direct; I believe they will ship overseas but you'll want to check with Mark S. there on it. He can also tell you A LOT about the unit...... | |
| Esoteric Digital Separates I did not have a ground loop present as I had an electric put in an over-built 10-gauge 20-amp circuit with Oyaide cryo'ed R1 outlets, oxygen free high quality copper custom-pulled and had him rearrange my entire panel in the house to balance it a... | |
| Esoteric Digital Separates Rtn1: Good points all around.....Everyone: HAPPY HOLIDAYS! |
