Audio Logic 24MXL compared to Audio Logic 34MXL

Rcprince, Did you purchase the EMM combo? It will be interesting to hear what happens when you run the EMM DAC
on the Forsell transport and the AL on the EMM transport.
Are you using the same power cords and digital cable on them? The last time I talked to Jerry about the upgrade,
he said that he thought it may cost about a thousand but hasn't worked out the best (most cost effective) upgrade yet. He may have decided that there is more money in selling new 34MXL's than upgrading 24MXL's. Can't blame him, it is a business.

Yes, I did buy the EMM Labs combo--on SACD it is truly stunning. I'll let you know when I switch the digital transports. Right now I still enjoy both of them too much to do any experimenting.

Ezra,

Didn't you have your 24MXL modified by TRL? Also, what happened to the Esoteric X03 combo?

Posbwp555 regards to you. conerning the dac replaced. I recently had the magnificent p03/d03/Gos combo. A fabulous system. I decided to try the metronome kalista transport, and remembering the great Jerry Ozment I purchased the latest audiologic 34mxl also magnificent but different as tube tech goes. the Esoteric was very dynamic, precise and musical but could sometime come of as a tad analytical and maybe a tad dry.I suspect that a very good tube pre could alleviate that perception. At the time I was using that excellent Music first audio tvc based passive. The audiologic is wetter and very musical and competes with cost no object dac's. This craft and pursuit never ends, and that is what makes it so much fun. We are big boy's playing with big toy's If we get to serious then it is time to pursue other endevors.Btw I have a new toy coming today, tha accustic arts dac-4. Wow! I wonder how that will perform with, THE KALISTA. CHEERS

Audioezra, How about an update. Which digital combo do you like best? Are you keeping them all???
