As a new Esoteric K-03XD owner, does it take 200 hrs to run it in and are there any other milestone points along the way? Would this apply to each filter being used/ Out of the box it sounds pretty...

I have my 100 lb. speakers on Townshend Podiums. They are on a second story carpeted suspended wood floor. Needles to say I consider them an essential component since they cleaned up some bass...

Mike is probably the best person to ask since he carries both lines and can accurately describe the differences.

Mike would be the best to weigh in on your question since he carries both brands.

Mike, I wonder if it actually exceeds the K-03XD since it's a newer release with potential "lessons learned" and improvements implemented from upper level models (just some feedback I have heard)? I...

Thanks for the thoughtful review. The Luxman and the Esoteric K-03XD are on my short list for an upgrade.

Please let us know how you like it after some break in. It looks wonderful!

Hello,

Did you have an opportunity to compare the D-10X to any of the newer Esoteric offerings? That seems to be the main competition. Thanks.

Randy

Ditto, the anticipation between the SA-10 and D-10x. Both are on my radar!

Deano1974 did you ever compare it to any of the new Esoteric offerings such as the K-03XD or more expensive K-01XD?

I understand that Luxman will be coming out with a new SACD player the D-07X and it will be less expensive than the D-10X. Anyone else have any knowledge or details?

I have and Keith's new 360 pre amp since December and now has a few hundred hours on it. It's a wonderful preamp and is feature filled. Next up will be his M2 amplifiers. I have the older M150's...

I just purchased Keith's 360 pre amp. It is now breaking in but from what I heard so far it is sounding great. I had his previous version 3a-03 and this is a leap forward. It could be one of those...

A nice improvement!

I have never owned one but I have several audio friends that have. Some really like them especially the amps others have moved on to other gear.

There are so many great alternatives, I don't know why you would go down the Accuphase route.

Interesting experience. I originally used the Cardas method for my set up but always thought that perhaps I should do a little more experimenting. I used the Wilson Audio Setup Procedure and...

Interesting discussion. I also have the Liszt speakers and have been toying with the idea of going with an integrated. The one that has caught my eye recently is the new Modwright 225i and it is a...

Hello,

Does anyone know if the 509x has a class A bias and at how many watts it leaves class A and goes to class A/B. Thanks.

I found that the actual cable (if you are on cable) can cause the problem. I installed one on the line that usually connects to the TV and it solved my problems.

Thanks for the replies. I have a separate Comcast modem and am using a Netgear Nighthawk as my prime router.

My audio system is on the second floor without a hard wired internet connection. I would like a Lumin streamer but I know it requires an Ethernet connection vs. Wi-Fi. Has anyone used a mesh router...

Jerry, I'm in the same boat as you. These are my two top contenders for my final player end point. I am currently using a ModWright Marantz player which is very good, but the new Luxman has me...

It seems that Cary has discontinued the DMS-600 streamer/dac. Does anyone know if there is going to be a replacement? It seems like a short run for this model.

My speakers are VA Liszt that are fairly efficient at 91db. I value an open, airy soundstage with an amp that deliver a quick transient response without being harsh or metalic. I listen to most...
