Attention Esoteric CD/SACD Players Owners

I have a Esoteric UX-3 Universal player that went for around 8,500.00. Presently I am using a MIT AVT 1 interconnect from the player to my preamp. I really love the sound of the system as is, but I am wondering if I am really hearing all the player has to offer by using a 200.00 cable on an 8,500.00 component. Other than using the Esoteric branded cables which are waaaay too expensive, what are other Esoteric owners using? Do I really need to spend a lot of money to get a good match, as I want to keep the price reasonable.

Hey Stereo5

 

I have a XO3SE and a K01 and have had really impressive results (to me) with Triode Wire Labs interconnects.  I run both through tube systems and enjoy the presentation and detail.  I have used Goertz, MIT, and audioquest and prefer the Triode Wire Labs.  

If you want to borrow a pair I could lend you a set and you could use your own ears and I have a real soft spot for Goertz and you could run them as well if you want to play around.

In any event TWL will not break the bank and Pete makes a hell of a cable.

Have Fun. pm me if interested

Happy Spinning
