Another step in my system's evolution. I have replaced my Krell KCT with an Esoteric C-03 preamp. I am also now biamping my B&W 801s with Krell FPB 350MC for highs and FPB 450 MCX for the bass.
The sound and the range is amazing. Definitely a few steps forward of where I was.
1/2 meter G3 XLR between cd player and pre/pro excellent cable, auditoned MIT, Cardas, Kimber
siltech LS-110
biwired from adcom 5503 to HTM-1 (1.8 m) movies sound awsome
Esoteric X-05
This CD player replaced my krell KAV-280cd. I auditioned this against the Krell Evolution CD player and prefered red book cd reporduction of the Esoteric. SACD playback was similar between the krell and the esoteric.
Rega RP-3
Never was able to get great sound out of my music hall 2.1. I love the Rega. It just works.
