(FWIW, i LOVE my kezar 75 show, which IIRC is... | |
| Esoteric K-05 or K-07? X series was amusical. K series is most certainly musical. --i covered this in my review of the P/D02 on UltraAudio. i'd have never owned an X series. In contrast, i'd love to have a K01. | |
| Are some of us losing our minds over upgrades?? while mid-fi gear has its limits, i've not encountered mid-fi gear that couldn't be improved on immensely with mods (esp digital and preamps). speakers are tough to mod due to the overwhelming influence of the cabinet (how do you mod that?!?), and... | |

| Tube pre/power combo for Rockport Aviors when i bought a pair of merak / sheritan IIs, these used speakers took over a week to 'resettle' in. they also love power. preferably class A. and, they are wonderful. suspect the aviors will last you forever. | |
| CD PLAYER Esoteric P/D02. Find Fcrowder; he made the leap from the EMM to the Esoteric. | |

| Top 5 Rock n Roll Vocalists axl has become a clown, but at one point, he was the man..just listen to 'you're crazy' off G&R Lies. --that 2 day session (spawned 4 cuts) was the band's peak, and axl's finest moment. awesome. |
