| Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use? Ayre Cx7e, hopefully to soon be upgraded w/ Ayre C5xe. Wonderful players, IMO, and AMAZING customer support. | |
| Best interconnects for AYRE gear ? Forgot to clarify... the power filter and new rack tamed the brightness in my system, and so the Ayre i-c's, which are brighter than the Golden Cross, now are better for the system, whereas before, they were too forward in their sound. | |
| Ayre balanced interconnects I'd second what Frankpiet said about the importance of system context. From my limited experience, I'd say that cable strengths/weaknesses are really system-dependent. I use a bunch of Ayre gear w/ Thiel 2.3's in an acoustically live room (under-d... | |
| Jolida integrated amp for Thiel 2.3's? Thanks, everyone, for the feedback. The Thiels will need a temporary (year or two) place to go, so they may end up in the bedroom system in any case. On the other hand, I will check out monitors, including the SCS4's. I have some used Avalon Monit... | |
| What CD player will warm my Thiel/Classe systm? I'm not sure if it's been suggested to you, but how about- considering analog? A good Rega P3 or similar table,e.g., a Music Hall, perhaps used; a cheap but effective cartridge, and a good affordable phono stage (all possible for 1K or not much mo... | |
| better tonearm for SME 20/2 Thanks for everyone's responses- I'm now seriously considering the Celebration as well as the Skala. Any experiences w/ the Benz Ruby 3 as well? | |
| To those who've tkn Vandersteen 5A upgrade plunge Mike-Thanks for the feedback; just a question about the 5A's. Someone recently told me that the 5A's are considerably more sensitive to room placement/setup than the 5's (is this your experience as well?) and might not work for a relatively smalle... | |
| How do you determine how much to spend on speakers I'll chime in on the "garbage in, garbage out" side of things. Proportionally too little money on the source(s) and even amplification can lead to a kind of dead or ill-defined sound, even through the best of speakers- there's a kind of "musical i... | |
| better tonearm for SME 20/2 Thanks for the feedback. Am still deliberating. Raul, I'm a bit uncertain about why the Celebration's being voiced on the SME V would make it the obvious best choice. I'm assuming it would make it synergistic, but to be a devil's advocate, isn't i... | |
| better tonearm for SME 20/2 Hey, everyone-Thanks very much for your feedback; it helped me w/ my decision, which was to go ahead w/ the SME V.Now I just have to decide on a cartridge for under 2K or so. I've heard good things about the Benzes, Lyras, Koetsus, and the Dynavec... |
