Ayon CD2 is AMAZING


Guys,

Received my CD-2 on Friday and I'm still amazed and the unit has only about 20 hours. The soundstage extends beyond the boundaries of the speakers with palpable images you can almost touch. The Rega/Bryston combo is good but the CD2 is in another league. This unit captures the ambiance and nuances of the recorded venue with ease. I know layering and depth will come when the units has been run in and I'm looking forward to that day!

I'm definitely happy with my purchase

Has anyone else noted there are several members who have only ever posted very positive comments regarding Ayon."Ayon is far superior to brand XYZ which I have owned several etc etc.Some of these guys claim to have owned lots of other highend gear but have never posted a single response about the other gear they claimed to have owned.
Just look at the history of some of these posters and you will see what I mean. Do these people really think the other members are that gullible?

I reread your post.
1) I have never even heard of Image Audio and therefore had to look it up.
2) I live approx 500 miles from Image Audio.
3) I have absolutely nothing to do with retail sales of any kind and never have.
4) What the heck are you even talking about?
5) Please enlighten all the members as I am curious as well.

Well, I had noticed these same type of posts previously with companies like Simaudio in which member audio4ever( C.K) was really the member pretending to be your everyday audiophile.I owned Simaudio at the time and liked the stuff but I simply will not support a company which conducts itself in such manner. The irony of all this is I was really considering Ayon until I read posts like those from Jimphd14. When anyone comments in thread after thread of how great something is I always check out their history( like member audio4ever).
When I took Jimphd14 to task regarding his posts he became overly defensive and angry, hurling insults, claiming to have co-authored a book on the mental health status of Canadians and insinuating I suffered from paranoia , anger and I forget what else. It was quite ironic and rather amusing( considering his claim).
I also think he would be quite embarrassed if he knew my profession.

Please don't get me wrong. I don't care if someone gives very high for a product ,even continually, if they are truly a real audiophile which has listened to or purchased the product.Everyone I am sure( including me) enjoys reading posts from real audiophiles who have purchased equipment with their own hard earned cash.
What we don't need are people posting comments (pretending to be real consumers of highend audio gear who have a vested interest).In other words,shills.

Would you be kind enough to share with us how the two compared? I am sure the Ayon is a fine player on it's own.How did the addition of the berkley improve on it?
Jim
In his subjective opinion he likes the Berkley better than his Ayon cd2.How does that make him a "pinhead"?
What is the title of the book you co-authored, a book regarding the " mental health status of Canadians" as you previously claimed( in a now deleted thread).
I am dying to know the exact title that I may read it.

Obviously you have a vested interest in Ayon.You have been calling people "pinheads", nuts(anyone who has even the slightest criticism of an Ayon product) etc and claiming to have owned gear XYZ, claiming to have authored books on the subject " the mental health status of Canadians". That was also in another thread which was pointing out Ayon is NOT made in Austria but ONLY ASSEMBLED in Austria, leading many to believe AYON is MADE IN CHINA( at least mostly).Only final assemble takes place in Austria,like setting the already fully manufactured circuit boards into the case.Funny how that entire thread was deleted.
The stuff does seem priced a little high for being MADE IN CHINA( final assembly in Austria).

Bottom line is this.
Jim you have been unmasked and no one believes your stories anymore because that is all they are.Now run back to Ayon because you obviously don't have any objectivity or credibility at this point.
It is definitely 100% NOT made in Austria. It is only partially assembled there. This has been discussed and was already extablish. Ayon even contributed to the thread and admitted it was ASSEMBLED in Austria, NOT made in Austria.
Ask Ayon yourself.
I only brought it up because of Jim's continual sarcastic and insulting posts.
Initially Ayon mislead people(imo)into believing the units were made in Austria when in fact they were only assembled in Austria. Exactly to what degree are they assembled? I don't know and neither do you.Ayon knows but they aren't saying.What percentage is it? It has been my experience when a company does this they are trying to hide something.This is the reason why there are those who believe much of the unit is manufactured in China and finally assembly takes place in Austria.Again, is this true? I don't know but I strongly suspect this is the case.
