Because the price of the unit I showed you was much less than the price you were talking about...but then you questioned the shipping cost despite it being free shipping...
I have N1T + D1XSE + G02X which on paper is supposed to be the flagship and better than N1 but Esoteric told me in most systems most people will not be able to tell the difference.
It says so in the last paragraph in the review. US$55,000.
In Australia AU$65,000 (incl tax).
So it's much cheaper in Australia than the US.
Wadax SP. Not for me. The Esoteric wins that face-off hands down.
Upgrading to K01XDSE would bring a better improvement than any power cable...I don't know if the SE VUK was ever offered for the K01XD, or if it was it probably isn't any more. Esoteric would rather you buy a new player than upgrade an existing one. I'm sure the changeover price for XD>XDSE...
M9 in Australia is AU$1.5M. As far as I know none have been sold here...I wonder if one day a pair is sold whether they'll both fly out here for the installation.
Do the Magico guys calibrate every MXO sold in the United States (i.e. is this included in the purchase price?) So they flew to Florida from California just for this purpose? By any chance can you post a YT video of them doing the calibration? Do you know the calibration software that they used?
