    KLAudio returns - new KD-CLN-LP200T RCM

    I do not trust this company. They deserted me by quit servicing abruptly. I question their business moral.

    Luxman's new D-10X flagship sacd player

    Good morning. There was the posting on S-3 somewhere and I posted my response. I hope it will meet your preference of the posting rule and your question here. I have never had opportunity to compare this with the others you mentioned. But i will not buy any major equipment without home audition...

    SoulNote S-3 CD/SACD player & transport, D-3 DAC,..

    It is about a month since I have started to use S-3 with SFZ 10M clock. The most obvious character of the sound from this machine can be summarized as no veiling of the sound. It reveals a plenty of what is recorded In clear sound. If the CD contains more higher frequency it is hard to listen...

    I felt Esoteric K-1x is more or less direct competitive mode to S-3 based on my fan boy prejudice to S-3. Sorry. I bought PMC Circinus. Mr. Omata of SFZ is a really nice guy to allow me to do home audition for two weeks. But why does he choose such difficult name for the products? Beyond me...

    Good morning. Yes it is triangle competition between Esoteric K1x, Lux 10X and Soulnote S3. In my experiences it has been my feeling that SACD, CD is not worthy option until I started using S-3. I quickly bought the top model of crystal clock unit made by the company called Sfortzart.

    Thank you, CK. Yes i am in Japan. I did I not audition to D10 partly because I bought D8 and used for more than five years but never felt the sound of sacd outstanding. But S3 is totally different story. Such huge dynamic presentation, retrieval of low revel details and overtone. My once dead...

    Thank you for your post. I will be looking forward to your review as I got this three weeks ago after lengthy home audition and am astonished everyday to hear something new from the CD and especially sacd which I did not hear in the past. Your experiences in real high end gears will be...
