| Esoteric K-01 vs dCS Puccini I have had them both in my system at different times (amongst others) and my strong preference was the K01. I would qualify that by saying the dCS did not have the Clock and it is also possible filter choices and settings could have an impact. The... | |
| Best CD I've heard so far 2011......... I would add Christina Perri's debut album Lovestrong to this list. Highly recommended. | |
| Best CD I've heard so far 2011......... I think I also need to order that new Calexico as well. I have a lot of their stuff. Such a distinctive style, and everyone who hears them at my house likes them. Some tracks off the Black Light album are great test tracks for equipment for me. | |
| Speaker suggestions at around $30k Of the speakers mentioned, I have listened to the Sasha, Sophia, Eidolon Diamond, Salon 2, and Focal Scala, and I have heard models from Marten, Magico, and Verity, but all in different systems and environments.Some nice speakers amongst them, and... | |
| Esoteric K-01 settings; any users out there? Try the Fir1 filter and 2x upsampling which is the best sounding combinaton to me so far. | |
| Best CD I've heard so far 2011......... I think that their first album "Between last night and us" is definitely well worth getting if you like their style. | |
| Best CD I've heard so far 2011......... Yes Richard, very nice .... the music also. Thanks for the link. That album is a great recording. I discovered them a few years ago and heard them again recently on Radio Paradise like you, and bought a few more. | |
| Best CD I've heard so far 2011......... Richard Stacy, if you havent already, listen to The Audreys. Try their album 'When the Flood Comes'. Based on your posts I reckon you might like it. Could be wrong of course :) | |
| Best CD I've heard so far 2011......... Calexico's 2011 "Selections from a Road Atlas" is sounding very promising the from samples I heard. | |
| Esoteric K-03/Plinius CD-101 Someone in another forum told me cables make no difference. Any truth in that ? | |
| Radio Paradise -- Good Stuff Audiojedi -- I recommend 'I am Kloot's album Sky at Night. | |
| Radio Paradise -- Good Stuff Excellent internet station that I listen to often. I really hope they stay true to their unique formula.Will also add KCRW to my favourites and try. | |
| HUH? Is this unusual? Audiofeil - I stand corrected!My son is finding charity stores to be a great source of vinyl on his budget for his new turntable. The stuff is so cheap that he buys things he would not normally listen to just to try out and is he expanding his app... | |
| HUH? Is this unusual? Audiofeil - How you could choose Bolton & Kenny G when there was a Shatner within your reach suggests your musical taste is "highly questionable". | |
| Gamut vs Tidal I have not heard the Tidals but would really like to see if they live up to the hype.I have heard a few of the Gamut range of speakers in various set ups and have always been impressed by the transparency and the way they effortlessly disappear. I... |
