Thank you for the kind words. By the way, the Esoteric reacts well to aftermarket power cords. I am using a Fusion Audio power cord on my Esoteric with great results.
I love your music room! You eclectic tastes in music is obvious!
I am curious what you thought of the EMM? I am big fan of the Esoteric. I used to have the X-03se and thought it was fantastic. I recently upgraded to the P-03/D-05 separates. It really is amazing how much detail the Esoteric players can retrieve. The result is a very organic and real sound because you can hear all of the imperfections and nuances. I dont think you will be disappointed.
