How would you gentleman describe the sound stage of the esoteric K-01, and K-03 players, roll a front and center, roll h and center, ect..., where is the sound stage placement? |
As much as I love very good statement digital players!, There is no way I would go thru hours of warm up time and 100s of hours to break-in each setting on a K-01 player!, There is way more options out there to get fantastic sound from digital than going thru all the heart ache of useing this unit!, Nothing sounds that good for me to go thru that!, Its bad enough I have to waite an hour for my amp to warm up,LOL!, Better you than me!, I would get frustrated at the unit and litterally throw it out the window forreal!, good luck with this fellas!, cheers! |
I read The Absolute sound review of the K-01, Remarkable player indeed!, I am sure the unit stands as one of the Best available!The unit would be perfect for my system!,I stand by my above post!, I do not believe I would have the patience for this player!, I wished I could sustain the heart aches of owning such a unit!,I mean,after the thousands of hours total of break-in of all the filter settings and up-sampling, you still have to go thru 2 to 4 hours of warm up time for the player to sound its Best!, Wow! |
@ Guidocorona, LOL!, The K-01 is a fine unit!, No question about it!I am glad you advised me about leaving the unit on!, However, after reading this thread, I was very disapointed in what a user of this unit would have to go thru to enjoy it!, cheers! |
well said Matjet!, I do want to audition one!,I am horrified at the many,many hassels to go thru to enjoy the player!, It seems like its worth it to you!,I just can't imagine breaking in all the settings, filtering settings and 2 to 4 hours warm up time just to listen to music!, And I can tell you I love music!, Happy listening! |
@ Matjet, You are beginning to bring me at ease!, The way this entire thread read of the product at hand apeared to be a nightmare!, Thankyou, Happy listening! |
@ flashunlock, do you mean, the evo and evo E series amps?, LoL!, I love bass too!, the 18 subs is awsome!, very much so useing krell amps!, I have one of krells older model amps, the krell 700cx, I love the mid-range of this amp, spectacular for solid state!,, Go Krell! |
@ Flashunlock, First of all, I can say wow at your system!, one of the best I have ever seen on audiogon!, forgive me, I am an avid Krell fan and owner, I am also an avid fan of Taralabs!, owned them since their conception of their company, I own the Taralabs Zero gold I/c, just bought the cobalt with the oyaide plugs and the omega gold speaker cables, These products have been on the market for many years, and I understand technology with a few brands may better the zero gold i/c and cobalt power cords, and I can see you going for better with the Krell amp and pre-amp you have, I just sent my krell 700cx back to krell to be totally renewed inside and out, Ray mulchler guarantees me a new krell 700cx, I believe my amp is not on par with yours, I do believe these Tara cables I just bought into will be more than enough for the equipment that I have,, The funny thing I see over and over is the fact that alot of audio gurus sell all there Taras, but always keep the omega gold speaker cables for many reasons!, Hence, you hardly ever see them on the used market.,I talk to alot of audio gurus such as yourself, I enjoy this, Its hard to find people with alot better system than I own!,, Well, I thought maybe you might want to know that I have had personal relationship with merril and Mathew Bond for years!, not that matters here, However, The news I thought you may want to know is mathew Bond and Taralabs is introducing a new all on slought top of the brand cables this fall the earliest, and no latter than may of 2014, It took many, many years for other brands of cables to better what Taralabs has done!, The Zero gold has been out since 1997!, for crying out loud!, So, It is my belief that Taralabs new flagship cable will send ripples thru-out the high-end industry as best available once again, then, another 10 to 15 years before their is another cable to better the Taralabs, I believe you like the sound of Taralabs, this is the whole reason of this post to you, you owe it to yourself to audition these new Taralabs super cables when they are released, then, In my opinion, you will likly own Taralabs best once again!,, Happy listening. |
@ Flashunlock, I am seriously considering buying a Esoteric k-03, you know the cables and amp that I own, please offer your opinion here if you believe this will be a good end result in sound,The cobalt will go on the k-03, thankyou so much, cheers to you. |
@ Zd542, Hi, Thankyou for the kind words regarding the Krell 700cx amp, It is alot different sounding than the fpb600, fpb 600c amps, the mid-range is alot better, and the over all sound is as well, cheers. |
@ Kiwi_1282001, this was a bit of news I need to know, your post 7-17-13, thankyou. |
@ Gocubs999, Hi, How do you like the player so far, Do you believe it out competes with other players in the same price range or higher?, cheers. |
@ Gocubs999, Thanks for your post, I plan on driving 3 hours soon to new orleans, La or Atlanta,Ga that is 5 hours drive, I have no high-end dealers in mobile,Al,,I have planned to audition before I buy this time, LOL!, for now on!, congrats on your k-03, your post helped alot, Thankyou, Happy listening. |
@ Kiwi_1282001, Hi, Well said my friend!, I am going to audition a k-03, However, I am parcel to the musicality group of listeners for digital players, God knows I have enough resolving, detailed sound and body to my sound, I will not have any analitical eanything in my system!, like I said, I will listen to Esoteric, Does not mean I will buy it unless it satisfies my flavor of sound,, cheers. |
@ Guidocorona, Hi, Thankyou for the info, I will do what you said,, cheers. |
