| $8000 budget on Pre-amp Did you ever demo the KX-5? I'm interested to see if it's anything like the KX-R Twenty given that they both use the diamond output stage. | |
| Ayre & Vandersteen I owned an AX-7e integrated and if the AX-5 sounds anything like the new KX-R Twenty (given that they both use Ayre's new diamond output stage), then you are looking at a significant performance upgrade that imo more than justifies the price diffe... | |
| Major mistakes made in assembling your audio rig The biggest mistake was trying to balance out a flaw in a component with a component that had the opposite flaw. I ended having to get rid of both components and replace them with components that did not exhibit major shortcomings. | |

| Contact info of Steve Huntley As I understand it, he is no longer providing service. | |
| Any Steven Huntely clones??? Those were just for service. | |
| Any Steven Huntely clones??? This is a really good question. I would like to know as well. | |
| Where to get regular fuses for an amp? You could also try calling Parasound. For example, when a fuse blew in the IEC on one of my mono blocs during a power surge, Ayre was, as always, amazing and sent me a bunch of replacements in case it happened again (it's very hard to find fuses w... | |
| Meridian 808.3 to replace Esoteric X-03 SE? While I am unable to provide comment regarding the 808.3 (I had the 808.2 in home for a month for audition but obviously that's an earlier model), in that price range, you should be auditioning other models as well (e.g., EMM XDS1, dCS Puccini plu... |
