| Ayon CD-2 sonics? thoughts? opinions? I can post a "preliminary" review of the CD-2 next week if folks are interested. It will only be preliminary because my unit had an XLR output go bad due to rough handling in shipping so I can only run it on the RCA cables I have on hand (Gregg St... | |
| Ayon CD-2 sonics? thoughts? opinions? I believe MSRP is $5500. | |
| Review: Fusion Audio Impulse/Enchanter Power cords Power cord John,Howdy! Great to hear from you again. I bought the Sasons from RSAD back in '05 or '06 when RSAD was first introducing them. At the time I lived in Arizona and another Sason owner was very kind to let me hear them in his home. I was blown away... | |
| Benefit of Tube Dampers/Coolers on 6H30? Hmmm. Interesting observations, Samhar. I'm away on business, but you can bet I'll try the stock cord on the CD. I'm using the Cloude 9 speaker cables, but Stealth Dream power cords. You're spot on about the sonic traits I hear with the CD-2. That... | |
| Ayon CD-2 sonics? thoughts? opinions? FWIW, the impression I got from Paul at USA Tube Audio is that the CD-1S is designed to be lower cost and slightly lower performance than even the CD-1. Although the CD-1 is now discontinued in Europe, I believe Paul told me Ayon intends to sell t... | |
| Upgrading Frontend in 2009: Which way to go? Guys,Question shifts to in-home auditions. I have some units in mind I'd like to hear. Although I explored the DAC angle I've decided I'm not quite ready to add another piece of equipment. That decision has to do with frequent moves, future space ... | |
| Review: Fusion Audio Impulse/Enchanter Power cords Power cord Scifi,Thanks for your thoughts. I will have to contact Don sometime soon. I just started a quest for a new CD player, but once the new unit is selected and in place I'll go back to the cable hunt. :)I liked the sound of his older cords. They sound... | |
| Cleaning cd lens ? I wonder where username Elizabeth is. This seems like a good thread for him/her to weigh in on. I've noticed they often have some very useful insight on these kinds of issues. | |
| Ayon CD-2 sonics? thoughts? opinions? Will do, Chayro. Also, the unit I am auditioning is the CES demo, so it has 50 hours or so on it already. I think I read somewhere that this unit isn't supposed to be run continuously for days on end to be broken in; can anyone here confirm that? ... | |
| Ayon CD-2 sonics? thoughts? opinions? For those interested, I just purchased a CD-2 from Paul at USA Tube Audio in Arizona. He has a very high opinion of the CD-1, and they have a sale on their limited stock of CD-1 players that is so good I almost couldn't pass it up to get the CD-2. | |
| Review: Fusion Audio Impulse/Enchanter Power cords Power cord Xti16,I haven't tried his interconnects yet, but if I start looking to upgrade Eric will be one of the first guys I call. :)Eee3, interesting observation. Eric mentioned to me that foils are "tempermental" for want of a better term, and do not mat... | |
| Upgrading Frontend in 2009: Which way to go? no kidding, seditious. I've been eyeing some GIK Acoustic panels, and bought a set of 3 for that back wall last week. Will probably order another 3 once I've tested them in the room.If this were the house I'd be in for many years I'd rip the plywo... | |
| Upgrading Frontend in 2009: Which way to go? Thanks for your thoughts, guys. It occurs to me there was a great price on a Resolution Audio Opus 21 with GNSC mods and RSAD umbilical just a few months ago. I didn't jump on it, and I don't think it sold (which is mind-boggling to me), but hasn'... | |
| $600 +/- Bookshelfs w/ Holographic Soundstage If you can go up a couple hundred dollars there is a pair of used Taylor Audio Taylo Reference monitors that would give you what you're looking for. Phenomenal value, and they disappear like nothing else I've ever heard. | |
| High End jargon; your take Warm - attenuated, rolled-off highs and emphasized mids. Think warm apple pie, a t-shirt fresh from the dryer, and Jennifer Connelly's bosom in acashmere sweater.Well said, sir!!! |
