That used one is VERY old, only one power supply (not two as standard) and the old standard clock (not the much better femto 33, which even the ref has!). A ref with femto 33 will outperform this used one AND you get to take advantage of the trade...

New Reference! Give me a call. Remember, the trade in of the Premier. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

“I've grown to use it almost exclusively because with the Statement NG, music sounds more vital than it does through Roon.” When I first told people roon was not the best sounding, they thought I was crazy. How could software affect the sound? ...

Do you know if Playback Distribution are going to do the Grandioso SE version upgrades in the United States, or are they returning units to Japan for upgrade?

Competing with integrated amps….not their goal for 861/812. More small space, lifestyle system. Built in DAC/Streamer/Headphone amp and all. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

No, but I’m not sure that’s their target. I think an 1161/1160 is a good target. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

It’s amazing to me that people think wire is wire. The other day we set up the NEAT speakers in the back room. With the Nordost speaker cables, it was not a good match. That ribbon tweeter did not respond well. Switched to the Sigma speaker...

I didn’t hear anything in particular. Glad you guys love the styling. It’s a carry over from the Master 300 which I designed. The Master 300’s are my favorite tube amps (if I’m allowed to say that without too much fussing!) Sent from my iPad...

Better to stick with the 300 or save for another 300. The 202 is basically the 200iQ with new cosmetics. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I have Altaira-SG. I connect the chassis grounding posts of my components to Altaira-SG. I could use another Altaira as some components share a binding post. I wanted to buy a Gemini-Model 8 as I like the dual purpose power + grounding however our...

Reminds me of the fuses we tried. One even costing $1500. The folks who were blindfolded could not tell any difference with any of the fuses. I guess if you find a fuse that messes with the sound, that could change things. But is it better? ...

I own both cables. I can't hear any difference at all. Save your money and get an Altaira. An Altaira is more important than any power cable.

You'd think M3 or S7 would be next in the upgrade pipeline.

M7 has been a GREAT seller for us! Now what will I do with all these Q7’s? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

It's system dependent. For me just plugging a Typhon QR into the wall outlet (in parallel configuration) brought a bigger improvement than plugging source components into Everest.

And the product is brilliant. I'm a big fan of Esoteric. Their products work flawlessly and are engineering masterpieces.

If I didn't know any better I'd swear I was listening to a SACD spinning in my Esoteric Grandioso transport. But it's not. It's 320 kbps Spotify. For those who scoff at lossy Spotify all I have to say about that is your hardware is letting the team...

Wishful thinking, but no. It surely doesn’t. The K-03XD is superior. Their pricing I think is brilliant. Budgets are pretty much in that $10k, $15k, $20k range and above and although those aren’t the exact numbers, they are close enough. I...

We have one in the store and it’s really fantastic at the right price. Comes quite close to the K-03XD in performance. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I imported 10 CD's and eight DVD's into my Kaleidescape system today. They were all recognized except for an obscure Madonna single. It's trivial to enter the album art and track titles for any unrecognized content.

M3 is about half the price of M6, which is about half the price of M7, which is about half the price of M9. They become big price increments as you move up the M-series line. I do like the look of M7. M9 is a bit too much in your face.
