Esoteric P-03/D-03 or Esoteric K-03
Thanks for the replies. Zephyr, how did the P-03/C-03 combination that you have compare to the K-03? How close is the K-03 to the separates? I don't think I can go up to the K-01 due to price unless I wait a few years until more used ones come on ... 
Esoteric P-03/D-03 or Esoteric K-03
OK. Some helpful discussion here on this topic: http://www.head-fi.org/t/533409/new-esoteric-players-k-01-k-03-anyone-has-seen-or-heard/15 
Esoteric P-03/D-03 or Esoteric K-03
Yeah, the K-1s are currently going used for about the same price as the P-03/D-03 combo used. But all of the ones I've seen on sale are out of my voltage. I'd prefer a 220-240 volt machine if I were to go that direction. The K-03 new where I live ... 
Stello ai500 Integrated amplifier?
I was just at the Seoul Audio Show and heard the new Eximus preamp and amp running a pair of Wilson Sashas and I was very, very impressed, as I've always been from Simon Lee's units. April Music is fantastic company and I'm happy for you for your ... 
Amp and Preamp for JM Lab Alto Utopias
I imagine the Devialet would be a good fit. Too bad they aren't distributed locally. Since I've purchased the ASR units, I'm done for now. 
Amp and Preamp for JM Lab Alto Utopias
Well, that's nice I'm sure, but I'm not looking to change speakers. There are probably better speakers than the Altos, even in the Focal line. I've heard really great speakers outside my own, including the MBLs and the Magico Q7s, which I heard at...

Thanks Paul. I need to get those pics loaded up soon. The MF is a nice amp to be sure, and I very much enjoyed it for eight years, but this new amp is in another world. Thanks once again for the help and support! 
Comparison of Musical Fidelity CD players
You'll be satisfied with the NuVista 3D, I'd say. I own one and it's quite good and reliable. The Tri-Vista has been known to have transport problems.

Hello Again,I've been living with the ASR for over a month now. My first impression was not good. The combination did not seem to match well. Unlike with the MF Tri-Vista, this combination led to rather harsh high frequencies of the kind one often... 
Why few discussion on Audio Machina CRM, CRG, CRS?
I heard the Pure System speakers with Soulution amps a few years back at an audio show. One of the best sounding systems I ever heard. Incredible dynamics and a lot of speed with this combination. I would have loved to own these speakers at that t...

Indeed, Tom. Indeed. Things just kind of fell in that direction. This purchase will start a whole new process of getting a high quality phono stage and a new SACD player later next year. After that, I plan to be done for a long, long while. Anyway...

Thanks for the reply, Paul. The Gryphon Encore is long gone. It left shortly after my post actually. I did hear the Gryphon Callisto 2100 once at the same audio shop as the Dynaudios. I compared it to the Manley Stingray, which came in about 40% o... 
Amp and Preamp for JM Lab Alto Utopias
I'm sure though that a Jadis integrated would work well with the Micros downstairs and with the music we'd likely to be playing there (not EA).I also did hear the Dynaudio Confidence monitors. My reaction to those was the same as the much larger f... 
Amp and Preamp for JM Lab Alto Utopias
Paul, I heard the top-of-the-line Confidence floorstanders (C4?) and while I was impressed by the staging, I was not impressed by the tweeter with my music. At the time I was doing the testing, about seven years ago, I was listening almost exclusi...

" I also saw a MF KW 750 used. yet another good option to consider though I'm sure this one is a bit more pricey." Sorry for the confusion on this sentence. I meant to say that I suspect the amp is a bit more pricey than I can get it used elsewher...
