In Reply to: REVIEW: Reference Audio Mods Esoteric X-01 SACD Player (Modded) posted by Quint on March 5, 2007 at 09:56:42:
I'd have been interested in what you listened specifically to (i.e., which CD's and SACD's) in order to get some idea of how the modded unit reproduced, for example, large orchestral ensemble, jazz combo, male and female vocal, rock, etc. In short, a frame of reference that would allow your readers to more easily relate to your evaluation of the mod (e.g., in your comments and soundstaging and imaging) and its comparison with the Goldmund.Not to pick on you. You obviously took some time to put your review together, and I appreciate your sharing it with us. But I have the same problem with some online audio "magazine" reviews that lack real-world-listening context which would make them more useful guides in determining what equipment might actually be worth a listen.
That said, glad you're enjoying your mod.
