In Reply to: New transport for Audio Aero Prestige posted by smart845 on December 2, 2006 at 09:37:00:
I got rid of my Prestige mainly because of the transport. I had mine extensively modded to brace the x-port, and even that didn't do much to reduce the noise. I now have an Esoteric with the VRDS-NEO mechanism, and the difference in quality is about as night-and-day as one can get in this hobby.

Thanks Quint. I know what you mean. The player should never have been released with this problem.
How is the sound quality from the Esoteric compared to the AA though. The X01 Ltd price is about 50% more than the AA in the UK.
cheers
Hi, Smart:Never got around to comparing a stock X-01 to the Prestige in my system. My Esoteric is highly modified, and it smokes the Prestige in pretty much every respect. Stock, though, I'm sure they're quite close. Going my from my impressions of them in different systems and at shows, I would say the Prestige has a warmer and richer overall sound, while the X-01 is more revealing.
Hi Quint, I checked your system and see you are into marine biology. Out of pride check out 2 F/water species I desribed long ago. Corydoras Davidsandsi and Brachyrhamdia Marthae.
