Living in the heart of the Gloucestershire countryside, Richard has spent the last ten years building up a superb high-end system that's equally adept at playing music as it is playing movies. The system's main source is a fabulous Esoteric UX-1 universal player with partnering G-ORb external rubidium master clock generator, itself the price of some complete audio systems. The UX-1 is now in its latest form, having been returned to Japan where TEAC's high-end Esoteric division brought it up to the latest 'Pi' specification with a series of modifications including the latest video board and enhanced drive mechanism. The Esoteric UX-1 Pi is indeed one of a rare breed, being a world-class CD player as well as being a state-of-the-art DVD-Video, DVD-Audio and SACD player. It's Esoteric's flagship universal model, and rumour has it that Richard is one of only a couple of fortunate UK residents to own one. But we're racing ahead, as needless to say this isn't the first multichannel system that Richard has owned over the years.
