| PS Audio DAC II or Bryston: two great machines No format can make a bad recording sound good, no matter the DAC, Transport, download, nor vinyl. I've like the physical so PC audio is not for me for that reason, plus I own so much music and continue to buy CD's weekly. I use a K-03 I got in Nov... | |
| Berkeley dac1 versus Esoteric K-03 Regardless of all the Phile and TAS pulling people into computer audio, Every burned CD and download I've tried the CD sounds much better than any burned disc regardless of program and the downloads at times worse,if the mastering was better in th... | |
| Esoteric k-03 sacd players I own one and I am quite happy with it. Little noise from transport at start up but after that zip. The spin noise I've heard from many top drawer CD players, due to the over kill transport and its design you may hear a bit more but once the CD pl... | |
| Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use? Esoteric K-03. Sounds as good as my vinyl as long of course like my vinyl that I keep is well recorded and mastered. Neither format to me is better, it all gets back to the quality. I love my LP's covers, but I can enjoy music either way. I must s... | |
| Is there a glass ceiling for cable technology?? Any cable will have a different on your equipment, so anything they put out can sound different than the cable they produced before no matter the brand. Never was a ceiling just impendence effects between 2 pieces of gear and then the wire connect... | |
| Review: VooDoo Cable LLC Black Dragon II Power cord Reading this review made me try the Black Diamond Dragon Powercord. It is shipping tomorrow. | |
| WHAT ABOUT CLOCKS? Clocks are only good if the internal clock is bad. Sometimes you will not hear a difference as in the case of the k-01 and K-03. Your money would be well spent else where.Clocks for pro use are used to tie in several digital units. The Clocks in t... | |
| How much better is Esoteric K-03 vs K-05? K-03 is wonderful. Musical as all get out. Forget the CD bashing the major mags are doing to drive their followers away fro CD's. This unit makes your cd collection sound better than you ever thought they could. | |
| Esoteric K-03 or K-01 2100 hours to break-in at 24 hours a day, Christ I never listen that much to my system in years. 700 hours for it to sound right for each filter setting. We must buy this then based on faith that we will like the final sound at $11,000 to $19,000 ... | |
| Crystal Clear Cables Miketuason. Thinking about the Magnum Opus XLR interconnects. I see he makes diffrent ones with different connectors, Cardas and others. Can you share your impression of the interconnects, break in time, and what is the best cable you owned and ho... | |
| Crystal Clear Cables Received my Magnum Opus speakers cables. In a word excellent. Sweet sounding, the bottom end is deep and tight and the midrange is clear, open with great body, the most important area the mid bass is there in great detail and definition. About the... | |
| Crystal Clear Cables I've just order the Magnum Opus Speaker cable. They look so well made and the feedback was very good by owners. Mel said 2 weeks to make them, so the wait begins. Will use between my McIntosh MC402 and my new built Quads ESL 63's. Electrostatic So... | |
| Cables more hype than value? Talk to many designers of gear and they all will tell you don't spend a lot on cables. Nuff said. Does that mean you should not if you choose to and you enjoy the sound a certain cable will produce, no, this is a hobby and if you want to hear how ... | |
| Mythologies on MoFi - Something wrong? ? You can EQ any remaster disc, vinyl or CD, or down load and make it sound different, in the end it is what you like. All sound quality gets back to this basic, and no one holds the best all the time. I've been very disappoint in the SACD of Nat Ki... | |
| New preamp experience It is all mix and match, and what your ear likes. If you like you are hearing then keep it, does not make the other preamp lesser, just with these amps you like what your hearing better, switch amps then you might like your current preamp better. ... |
