Ayon Triton the best tubes amp in the market?

Junglern,

On another thread last night I posted some comments about my listening experience with an Ayon Spirit-1 integrated amp if you are interested.

Read "The Absollute Sound" issue Mar 2011. Ayon Audio is "The Bugatti of Audio. I personaly own the Ayon Triton and CD-2 player/DAC. Simply the best sound i have ever experienced period. The article echo's what i've been experiencing for the past 1yr. Simply in a class by itself. I dont miss my Krell, J Rowland, Mcntosch, Cary or Mark Levinson gear as nice and expensive as they are/were.

If you are looking for the very best value and performance, inquire about a McAlister Audio OTL or one of their "real" SET amplifiers

Mikesmith -

I owned a Mcalister and oh my god! This product was one of the worst I have ever owned. I bought it in a leap of faith and it soiunded flat and it broke 2 times, now I have it in a box in my garage - where it belongs.

Strange. The reports I have from every owner are nothing short of outstanding. I guess every person has an opinion however, thats what makes this hobby great. Incidentally the OTL-195's were compared in an audio clinic in the USA to some products costing 4x the MA price and the panel of many listeners were instantly unanimous that the MA product just sounded considerably better and took orders for 2 pairs on the spot! Funny, I have also had some extremely well reviewed and praised amplifiers here that TAS, Stereophile and a few others said were delicious and I did not think they were worth the boxes they came in after the listening was done :>} Cheers
