I looked inside of my PS Audio PWD recently to fix the light and I wasn't overly impressed.
Derek.......I will not be removing the top cover of the Esoteric because it is on loan from Esoteric to me. I don't want to risk the possibility of any damage while I have it in my possession, especially since I don't own it.

Dan,

Some years ago I briefly owned the X-03 SE, then of course I had to buy the X-01 D2. I really thought the X-03 SE was pretty much everything that the X-01 D2 was, and that made it a great value.

I look forward to your review.

Wasatch,

I heard the 089 again last week, and even with a 50% off demo sale on the 089 i'd probably take the K-03.

Cool. Glad to see they are in the same ballpark. Look forward to it.

I believe we have a dealer here in Utah that carries Esoteric. I guess I'm going to have to listen to a demo.
