| Opinions and experiences on the Esoteric UX-3 SE According to my technical service contact at Esoteric the transport in the DV-60 is indeed made by them; I spoke with them a few hours ago today. The Pioneer info posted here is erroneous. | |
| Esoteric DV-60 I spoke with my technical service contact this morning at Esoteric and according to him the transport in the DV-60 is indeed manufactured by them. The Pioneer info posted here previously is erroneous. | |
| Plinius 9100 or Simaudio Moon i5 for Totem Hawks? About time for Audiooracle to toss around one of his sales presentations for Plinius isn't it? | |
| Morph the Cat deheaded I also believe the albums (speaking of which how about 1 instead of 2? - there's no need for 2) are sonically "out of balance". Perhaps that is not the correct technical description but there's no question the bottom end is somewhat unnatural and ... | |
| Sound Quality or Convenience? How many folks would consider buying a preamplifier (or linestage) without a remote control? Not necessarily full function but volume and/or mute capabilities. Like air conditioning, it's hard to give up once you've had it. | |
| Esoteric DV-60 You beat me to the punch Guido. I have serious doubts about the DV-60 being fully broken in. Furthermore, the folks at Teac are very careful about introducing new models. I've met the Japanese engineers and I'm convinced that any new product intro... | |
| Esoteric DV-60 I've not had an opportunity to audition a DV-60 yet. That being said Esoteric players need at least 300 hours, IMO, to begin hitting their stride. Some customers feel they need even more time. That being said, I feel it is unfair and disingenous t... | |
| CDP build quality >>Yrs ago a friend had to ship his new Cary back 2 manybe 3X's for repairs<<Years ago is not an issue today; Cary is a reputable and reliable manufacturer.Anything mechanical can fail.I wouldn't take too much stock in this post. | |
| Tubes or Solid State????? >I currently have a Jadis Orch Refer, the best tube amps in the world<The best tube amps in the world huh? I'm glad this controversial issue has finally been decided. Time for a nap. | |
| line conditioner for amplifiers I would think you would prefer this sound based on previous posts such as this:>>i like a dull, veiled, laid,back, boring sound capable of putting me to sleep. i hate treble and i don't like detail.<<Change of heart?BTW it's "effect" n... | |
| Tube preamp $1500-2000 for a thin sounding amp? Maybe you should try some nice thick interconnects and speaker cables to beef up that thin sounding amp. Try www.fatwyre.com and ask for Porky. | |
| what is good music? I can't define it, but I know it when I hear it.With respect and credit to Potter Stewart. | |
| Pass Labs 350.5 or 600.5 owners--breakin time..... My experience is a little different. I've found that most Pass amps level out after about 100 hours of use once the caps are fully broken in. The XA series take a little longer perhaps 150 hours total. I've not noticed much change after that. Do n... | |
| Most Useful Audio Adjective MintyOoops, wrong thread. | |
| Dali, Amphion, Zu >>With 10 hours/day, it should take 10-15 days at most<<With many speakers I would tend to agree with you. In my experience it matters as much, if not more, with how loud the Zu speakers are driven as it does with the number of hours; ... |
