So, I'm trying to collect units for my upcoming system.
I have acquired a Cary SLP-05 preamp. I have also just recently this week acquired the Cary 211 Founders Edition mono blocks for my system as well (oh my goodness that was a heavy set of amps)... along with some SRA Ohio class amp stands.
Now, I'm looking at the source.
Initially I was looking at Cary 306 SACD Pro as an all in one system, it has a cdplayer, it also has a DAC unit with digital inputs that I could use a server type system on - similar to what I've done in the past.
However, I have stumbled onto a pair of Esoterics.
Does anyone here have first hand LONG TERM experience with Esoterics? I am looking at these Esoteric P03/D03 units. I know there are newer P01/D01 and P02/D02 since about 2-3 years ago, but those are essentially unreachable in price.
Thanks!!
