| Can't decide on Integrated Amp - Please Help I wasn't trying to start a back and forth, but you have never heard the Ayre AX7e and it's NOT the AX7 by any means. My ONLY comment is that you can't comment negatively on a product that you have never heard. The new diamond stages changes the ga... | |
| Can't decide on Integrated Amp - Please Help the upgrades are huge. You're the only person I've ever heard say that the Ayre is hot on top, which is basically what you have stated. Many on this thread have disagreed with your statement also. Hansen just doesn't make products that are hot. Th... | |
| Personal speaker evolution I find it interesting to see everyone's evolution. Go back and reread the posts as they are really interesting. Most of us have gone up and up. Some are happy for the long term and keep their speakers for awhile, while some are always looking for ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I went down to the box yesterday and it does have ONE earth ground for the box. There are two boxes, but it's the same box. He put the smaller one in so that I can easily find the 20amp circuits for the whole loft (where the audio system resides).... | |
| Can't decide on Integrated Amp - Please Help Dayglow, my point is that you can't make a statement that you think the Marantz is better than the Ayre when you have never heard the Ayre, let alone in the same system. That's the problem I have with your statements. I have heard the two amps vs ... | |
| Can't decide on Integrated Amp - Please Help Well, Theil and Maggies can sound that way regardless of what you run them with. Set up is key. I don't know what older Ayre stuff sounded like, but the AX7 is a great match for a speaker like that. Plenty detailed, but honest in it's presentation... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Matt (or anyone else) will you be at Audio Connection on Sat the 22nd for Richard Vandersteens visit? I'm going to head down, weather permitting. I should be there from start to finish as I have some auditioning to do in addition to the event. I'm... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Steve, great advise. Matt, the question I have is where in the house are you located and how high is the ceiling? The dimensions can be just as important as the floor. Are you on cement or studs? now that you bring up the studs, yes, we made stagg... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Will you be using double rock? Make sure the seems don't line up...I have done the first layer of rock vertically and the second horizontally. The Wadis engineer I spoke with years ago (when we did this at my buddys store) told us to do this..Ceil... | |
| Aesthetix,cary audio and pass lab synergy I may need to save up to get the Romulus....I'm still hoping Ayre comes out with some sort of music server, SS hard drive and DAC with multiple connections all in one... | |
| Personal speaker evolution fplanner, yes i like your speakers....I do love my analog...for the cost nothing was even remotely close... I heard a ton of stuff and most was 5k plus...the Basis/Benz combo with the Heed Quasar is better than most things I heard and it's not clo... | |
| Can't decide on Integrated Amp - Please Help Dayglow....I have no idea what you are talking about in regards to the Ayre....There is no way it's a bright amp. Please reread all the posts by those of us who have the amps from Ayre and you will notice similar words like nearly tube like...It's... | |
| MW Sony HAP-Z1ES Trying to understand all of this as it's new to me and with my MS it's not as easy to learn...I'll get there. How do the Oppo units sound? I have a pretty high end system with Ayre integrated and Vandy Treo's...top AQ cables. Does Oppo do a fully ... | |
| Personal speaker evolution now that's a list of speakers to be proud of, lol. | |
| Aesthetix,cary audio and pass lab synergy thanks AC for your input.....You've sure helped me spend my money wisely....I love what you've put together for me. I will say that when I've heard the Aesthetixs at your place they just sounded right. |
