    This is my third year watching F1. To me NASCAR and Indy are totally boring, but not F1. The technical and strategy aspects are fascinating, and the broadcasts are really well done. It's a treat...

    No mention of Merrill Audio (which seemed to make quite a splash several years ago)? Not inexpensive though.

    Re: Shunyata Theta and Gamma Series Announced

    MSRP's on some of these are up on The Cable Company site now, so you won't have to guess. Looks to me like they fit between the Venom and Alpha lines, replacing the Delta line - at least from a...

    Re: Magico S3 (2023) Listening Impressions

    New S3 2023s replaced my S3 MkIIs. The shorter height dimension will get you attention, but the cabinet volume looks to be similar due to the greater depth dimension. Run-in and final setup now...

    Re: DAC Comparison not going well …

    You've lived with your D-02X and the Rossini for a while and no doubt gotten them well integrated into your system and your musical ear. I have a K-01XD (coming from a K-03X), and it's taken me a...

    Re: Impressive first listen - Esoteric K01XD

    I have a K-01XD, my second Esoteric player. You should plan on using a good aftermarket power cord - makes a significant difference (I use Shunyata Alpha V2 NR).

    Re: Speaker /amp incompatibility

    If you haven't already, good idea to check the tightness of the screws on your speakers, especially the ones that secure the bass drivers.

    Re: Lifespan of Capacitors

    Mark Levinson had a real issue with caps in their No. 331/332/333's back in the 90's. IIRC they'd replace them under warranty even if the caps hadn't failed yet. Unfortunately I was unaware of the...

    Re: Magico S3 2023 finally arrived

    Those with the non-premium finish do not (same as S3 MkII's). Cannot speak for premium finish ones.

    My M-10X stereo experience driving Magico S3 MkII's has been very positive (coming from a Diablo 300). Very refined. Dynamics not lacking.

    Re: Esoteric & Luxman CD-Players House sound

    The US MSRP of the K1X is about 3x the MSRP of the new D-07X, so I'm a bit surprised that the Esoteric isn't a clear winner in spite of differences in house sounds. This in spite of the just...
