"E" vs Olive vs K03

[mikem]

Nice review ! I am considering upgrading the digital part of my system. Esoteric or Mac mini or Bryston from my Olive setup.

Looks great. Now I know what the surprise was you were talking about the other day.

After experiencing this in person a few days ago I was very impressed with the sonics, build quality and overall implementation of the "E" music server system. I never anticipated the high quality cosmetics of the server and the NAS drive is also of top quality. For the cost of these pieces I have simply not seen anything that comes close to what this system has to offer, not even factoring in the first class support that comes included with the system price.

My Naim music server has a higher retail price and certainly has nowhere near the component quality or capabilities as the "E" music server. This has to be one of the easiest decisions one could make if purchasing this type of product and this system certainly will compete with anything on the market at a much higher asking price.

HK I am so glad you have found an ultimate server solution that will treat you right for many years to come. I have never heard of this level of support from any company and that is the icing on the cake when purchasing a computer orientated device.

Enjoy! I know I will every time I am listening to it in your beautiful home

Glad you enjoyed it, Buddy.

It is the fun, ultimate package!

You got to be kidding me! Folks, this is a bargain and a half. Grab one of these before E realizes he's practically giving 'em away! With his focus on quality and service, all his expertise..........

Howard, the aesthetic of your setup remains unmatched, IMO. Beautiful.

Thanks... Yes, I am pricing these aggressively, but it is fun and gives the primary adopters one heck of a deal.

What type and speed of processor and how much RAM is included in this particular package?

[Bavarian05]

I can only echo what everyone else has already stated...

Wonderfully balanced and beautifully done listening room!
Congrats and nice work!

Howard,

Congrats on the server..... I think the way your room turned out is beautiful. As a side note I wanted to mention that I am disappointed that Olive removed their phone number from the website. My 04HD disc drive died and am working to resolve this thru email; but wish I could talk to someone in person.....
