Hello All I have been piecing my new system together for about 2 years. As each new component was installed, I could easily notice the improvements to the sound. With the pre amp, amp, speakers finally done, still I was needing more. I believed that my digital player was holding the system back. I loved the sound of the ARC CD9, but it did not have SACD. Many here on AA directed me to the K03X. With the help of Ivan, I quickly became a K03X owner. Today, it was delivered and I hooked up the unit. The packaging was impressive. I lost count how many times the unit was boxed, I think 3, plus the cotton cover and foam. The install was fairly straight forward. I set up the unit and quickly threw a disc in. From the first note, I was completely knocked out by the sound. The details were some that I never heard in my system. I could easily feel the that the bass had tightened up and was full. The soundstage was wide and deep. Smooth as silk. Yes, The K03X is every bit as good as everyone says! This component took my system to new heights from my previous disc players. Last night, while I was surfing the net while at work, I took advantage of Ivan's deal for a PS Audio P10! I hope it adds an extra dimension to my experience. Thanks to all who helped me along with my purchase decision. This is a great forum with friendly, knowledgeable people. I'm glad to be a part of this great community. Thanks, Pete

Pete......Great looking sound system. With gear of that caliber, a high-end AC power regenerator will add to the overall quality of the system's performance.

Looking real good. :thumbsup:

It never ends.

Enjoy :music:
