| Any experience with Esoteric K-05? Thanks for the comments Denon 1. My K-03 demo unit has over 500 hours on the clock. What filter settings are you currently using? 4x oversampling and no filter seems the most open in my system - but I find the presentation tonally cool. Remarkable... | |
| Interconnects that offer a mid-bass lift Stringreenkiwi....you really shouldn't use cables as tone controls... get the proper components. LoL... I have been preaching the same for years - which is how I ended up with Nordost cables. However, there are instances where something (cable or... | |
| Interconnects that offer a mid-bass lift Hi Rrog. My current cables are Nordost Valhalla. These are fast and neutral. However, I am looking at a change in digital source and some of the products I am interested in are quite clinical having super treble extension and bottom end audio freq... | |
| Any experience with Esoteric K-05? Thanks Gordon and Mike. I have also read the commentary on AA including Mikes excellent overview. Looking for expanded input because the AA site seems to be a bit of fan club. Nothing wrong with that - but no product can be perfect for all systems... | |
| Any experience with Esoteric K-05? Thanks for the comment Audiooracle. What player would you suggest? | |
| Any experience with Esoteric K-05? Thanks for the comments Zd542 and Ritmo.I like the look of the Esoteric players - particularly the K-05. The K-01 and K-03 look like they have eaten too many steak pies :-)Still, it is sound quality that counts and I will be auditioning. | |
| Best Sounding CD / SACD player under 15K Hi Milpai,I have heard the Esoteric K-05 but not in my own system - so it is not possible to arrive at any meaningful comparison. From what I heard (at an audio show) the K-05 seemed competent but of course I was listening to it as part of an unfa... | |
| Raidho D1 audition Thanks for the write up Nvp.The listening environment sounds far from ideal, particularly your observations about room size, speaker positioning and the proximity to other loudspeakers. I think it is saying something to come away impressed under s... | |
| Magico V2 vs. Q1 Hi Mariv26,I think you have missed my point, which was I wasn't happy with the Q1 review, either in terms of MC's listening environment or some of the measurements made. I was being a bit sarcastic about the Magico / Raidho comparison. Clearly the... | |
| Magico V2 vs. Q1 Colloms wrote a review on the Raidho C-1.0 sometime back. In that review he also discussed efficiency, noise and frequency response. Suggest you dig that out. | |
| Diamond drivers Dracule1 I think the new diamond mid/bass driver is ground breaking. No one else has done what Raidho has with diamond. But I will hold off on judgement of the sound until I hear the D1. Ground breaking indeed and a complete sonic treat. I have t... | |
| Magico V2 vs. Q1 Colloms Review of the Q1 certainly makes for interesting reading. There seems to be little evidence of acoustic controls (bass traps / absorption / diffusion etc) in Colloms listening room and I can't help but feel this would influence the observa... | |
| Nordost Valhalla Power Cords Interesting Bo1972. I am not saying you are wrong and piano recordings unlike small live events are at the mercy of recording engineers - but we clearly have different realities because having a 9ft concert grand piano fit into the image size of t... | |
| Nordost Valhalla Power Cords Hi Bo1972,I need your help to understand what is meant when you speak of small dimensions of voice and instruments? Are you referring to the image size? | |
| Nordost Valhalla Power Cords Hi Polyglot. Use the longest length of Valhalla PC between the wall socket and your distributor. Best PC (IME) should go there.Also agree with Jussy. The Odin is a big step up from Valhalla. Nordost often comment that one Odin in primary position ... |
