New Esoteric P02 D02

To Eli:

My name is Emre. Thank you for the 6300 mk2 and 6300 comparison. I am curious about aes/ebu performance as well.

I was considering 9500 for some time. Some people made comments on 9300 and how revealing it was. Also they were saying that it had tendency to sound bright when used with the "wrong" equipment. Since it is not officially available in US, and special order only I have decided to wait till I find a demo piece.
So, thank you for the valuable insight on 9500. I am still using 7300 which is less detailed, less dynamic and darker balance overall according to some people who compared it with 9300.
Now I can consider 9500 with more faith.

Eelii, So far I have had great results with all your suggestions. I would love to give the 9500 PCs a try. I am a bit disappointed with the SR cords, I had hi hopes for them, but they are a pain in the ass to work with.
I am hell bent on maximizing these components, I don't believe I will be moving from the D-2/P-02/G-01 for a long time, if ever. As great as they sound now, I know there is more to get from them, and cords and speakers are where my shortcomings are. It is a tough pill to swallow, to spend nearly as much on PCs and ICs as components, but it appears to be necessary to actualize the best sound from these pieces.

Yes I agree. See if you can get a demo somehow. Spending that much blind on cables is a great act of faith. I think you will like them, almost sure, but the degree of improvement can vary greatly from one system to another and you could find it is not worth it. The problem as you know is that you need 3 of them...

honest honest and honestly asking, have any one truly compared p-02/D-02 vs P-01/D-01, as compo???

comparing 02 vs 03 has no meaning, as we know (sorry for such statement).

this comparison of p-02/D-02 vs P-01/D-01 is quite important.

Not me. Asume you mean the old 01s? My guess is that the 02s are more resolving. But I do not know first hand. The new 01s I think they will be better. By how much and if it is worth it, that is the question. I would habe liked to see in the new 01s streaming capabilities of some kind.
