Esoteric UX-1: How "noisy"?

Thank you to all who responded. To solve the mystery, it was determined quite quickly that the "whirring" noise was indeed a mechanical fault. Even my DV-50S is dead quiet. Esoteric, to their credit, has been lightning-quick in making arrangements to replace the unit.

Glad your problem was solved--didn't sound like it was a general Esoteric problem based on my experience, and I have both an X-01 and DV-50. But I'm puzzled by Jfz's comments--live concerts must be hell for you. I'll take an incidental living-place noise which can't be heard over soft passages over bronchial honks, creaking seats, and rude talkers any day, and I've learned to tune most of those out. Granted, the idiot above me, who has never heard of rugs or non-stiletto heels, does push it a bit....

Mgottlieb, have you upgraded your X-01 to Limited yet, or are you planning to?

Mgottlieb - I'm puzzled by your puzzlement. I simply prefer quiet over noisy. Doesn't assume anything's hell for me.

Guido, yes, if the Esoteric distributor in the Northeast ever gets its act together to set up the upgrade process, which at present rate doesn't look like it will happen before the next upgrade.
