Which player for Accuphase c2900 and a75 original esoteric k01 or an Accuphase


I have the house sound of Accuphase  C 2900 paired with a 75 amplifier, it is sweet, but somewhat rolled off at the extremes,, I would be very very appreciative if you guys that know more than me would comment on the benefits of adding the esoteric   K0 1. original ,,or possibly the DP 720 or 750  I’m looking for a little bit more bass definition and do not want to get caught up too deep in the romance thanks in advance again for any help Barry

I would go for the Esoteric K01.  Nothing else comes close imo. The Accuphase looks fancy with the champagne front and hidden controls but I found their players to sound a little fat and bloated. 

@bclower if you are looking for more transparent / speed/ leading edge with potentially more top end, consider Nordost TYR2. They are excellent cables and present a blend of richness and detail hard to find at this price. Another good choice could be modern Kimber Kables; they will likely have a less romantic presentation than your Cardas which are known to be warm, but tend toward neutrality and coherence. I’ll let you know how it goes when I receive my Accuphase DP-770. Can’t wait!

Another +vote for Accuphase DP 720 or 770.  Excellent advice as above from audiopacer.

 

Happy Listening!
