    C-03x to C-03xs

    I am thinking of upgrading my C-03x to the C-03xs.

    This is my budget max.

    How much difference is there in the C-03xs, or am i just wasting my $$$

    Re: C-03x to C-03xs

    I cannot tell you based upon direct experience with the C-03xs as I've not heard that model.

    Owning the C-02X and owning the C-03 and C-02 (and C1) in the past however, I can offer an opinion.

    The likelihood of the C-03xs being a small or near-lateral move/upgrade seems to me to be quite high.

    The C-02X, possessing alot of trickledown knowledge, design and components from the Grandioso C1 plus current advances
    is a BIG upgrade from the C-02 I owned (still one of the best preamps I've ever heard back then). I am extremely impressed
    with the C-02X. My suggestion would be to try and hear it, try to find a dealer demo of it and get warranty or simply negotiate
    as much as possible as I did to a good price that works. You won't be sorry, even if you have to wait and put away more money
    to do it.
