Have you ever thought it would be cool to have a stereo reviewer come to your house?
@emergingsoul  The panels were easy to install. I just screwed some hooks into the joists and use small chain to secure them. It took me a couple hours total time and most of that was locating the joists.

@audioman58 That’s why they would be blindfolded without seeing the room or equipment. I want to see if they can really hear the difference and how much that difference is decided by price and brand names.  
Unable to hear back of the head sound effects
I used to think the people who said they heard sounds from behind them on two channel stereo were delusional. I have read that on the Qsound recording Amused to Death by Roger Waters you can hear dogs barking behind you. On my system they are far ... 
Looking for SACD player
I owned a Jay's CDT2 MK3 and decided to upgrade to the CDT3 MK3. Well, that did not work out. The tariff's hit just before I was going to pull the trigger and I was unable to get the new one from China. To pour salt into the wound, I sold my CDT2 ... 
I'm Just Not Hearing It..., Do You???
I have upgraded my system to include an Esoteric K03XD CD player. At the same time I bought a LED Zeppelin III CD that I vetted on Dr Loudness-War to have the best dynamic range. I can hear the squeak, but barely. I have a copy of the Mothership C... 
Another Day, Another Upgrade.
@stuartk i enjoyed the cdt2 mk3. It paired great with the H390. I wish the cdt3 mk3 I had would have worked out.

@freediver  I have about $3k in treatments. I would spend it again. It made a huge difference.  
Another Day, Another Upgrade.
I have several hundred CD’s and the ones I own have been vetted to make sure I have the recording with the highest dynamic range. The K03XD does an amazing job of extracting every bit of information from those discs. I also like not having the tem... 
Esoteric K03XD filters
@tomcy6  I’ve heard it takes 200 hours per filter to burn them in. It’s going to be a long enjoyable process!  
New Esoteric K-03XD
I recently purchased a K03xd and I’ve tried several combinations of filter settings. I’m settling on 4fs and M1. That may change as it burns in.  
Does other Audiogon members' opinion carry any weight for you ?
There are a few who have responded to this post that I enjoy reading what they have to say and many others who I never see on here any more. I am not highly technical and I enjoy learning about the nuances of this hobby. I’ve used some advice from... 
Anyone upgrade from Jays CDT2MK3 to CDT3MK3?
@stuartk  I will let you know how it turns out. I have exchanged a few emails with Alvin and Todd.   
Anyone upgrade from Jays CDT2MK3 to CDT3MK3?
@stuartk  The CDT2MKIII never gave me any problems. I hope the issue with the CDT3 MKIII is resolved and hope that I am not sorry I sold my CDT2.   I have reached out to Todd and Alvin.  
Anyone upgrade from Jays CDT2MK3 to CDT3MK3?
@mksun  I’m not saying it isn’t better yet. I only have a few hours listening and when I have listened, I’m not in the right mind because I’m anticipating a skip. I haven’t had a chance to relax and listen. I do believe there is more bass present ...
