| ARC REF II mkI vs. BAT VK-51se Let's modify the question just slightly. Can someone compare the current Audio Research Ref 2 Mk. II to the current BAT VK51SE? | |
| Pass Labs versus Jeff Rowland, Audio Research Thank you so much Fernando. I am in fact considering very seriously replacing my EAD T100 + DSP7000 with the Esoteric X-01.

The best info I have found so far seems to suggest changes in the power supply have been included. Here is an extract from an ad for the x-250.5 on audiogon: ". . . addition of sin... | |
| Pass labs X600 Armando, Perhaps it is in fact true that things are achangin'. Even Nelson Pass may be agreeing with all concerned: Pass labs is in the process of redesigning its entire X series, to be now called the X.5. An X600.5 should arrive hopefully in the ... | |
| EMM DCC2/CDSD versus Esoteric X-01 Thank you Bombaywalla for your keen observation. I have reasons to believe that all three devices were in a similar state of warmup. They all were stationed in their regular spots at this dealer's showroom and the consultant asserted that the equi... | |
| TEAC Esoteric X-01 SACD/CD Player I have recently auditioned Esoteric X-01, Bel Canto PL-1A and Burmester 001. X-01 was by far the best of the 3 and Burmester far the worse. My detailed findings are discussed in the following thred:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ddgtl&... | |

| EMM DCC2/CDSD versus Esoteric X-01 Thank you so much MGOTTLIEB and SPLASKIN for your input. Just two weeks ago I had the opportunity of auditioning the Esoteric X-01 connected to a set of Top Line Burmester electronics and JBL Utopia Alto speakers. Interconnects and speaker wires w... |
