Interesting idea's guys,thanks.Am using the Panasonic as a transport Sean,though when I got it from EVS a couple of months ago,I remember Ric saying he recommends using it as a player,though I cannot remember why.As usual you are right about the Ayre being a step up.It was real musical and dynamic,would like to play it again in a few months.Bob
Audiogon rocks with.......
Met a member last night and he came over today with his Ayre V5x amp,a beauty.We put in my system,Merlin VSM-MM,Counterpoint preamp,MSB dac modded by Modwright,Panasonic DVD,modded by EVS and Cardas wires.It was very transparent,dynamic,you could see deep into the music,just a little too much,but not alot,of glare,I think we thought,compared to my modded Counterpoint amp.I am lacking clean AC and my room is not acoustically together,but it was alot of fun and very interesting for both of us.I would like to buy the amp,but something needs to be done to make it a perfect match for my system.We both thought tubes could be good,and I forgot to add the speakers have just 90-100 hours on them,so not yet broke-in.It was a rare pleasure to met a local audiophile and friend.Cant wait till our next demo,thanks Art....Bob
