| Ayon CD-2 sonics? thoughts? opinions? The CD-2 review will not be for a while; I just received the unit two weeks ago, and I will not have a final copy for several weeks. Then it undergoes the process which leads to publication. It will take some time, but I aim to make it a worthwhil... | |
| Ayon CD-2 sonics? thoughts? opinions? Bob, I will be making comparisons between the two in the CD-2 review. Sorry to keep you waiting, but I can't let all my secrets out of the bag. :) | |
| Ayon CD-2 sonics? thoughts? opinions? I've got two or three at the moment, and you can bet I'll be futzing with them! Even though it might not be absolutely productive in terms of creating the cleanest signal path, I have found that testing such things can lead to helpful insights and... | |
| Ayon CD-2 sonics? thoughts? opinions? Gerhard Hirt, the designer at Ayon says this is doable with their cdp. I will likely try it out. | |
| Ayon CD-2 sonics? thoughts? opinions? Never heard of this; I'm going to discuss with Ayon. | |
| Legacy Focus HDs The 840C is a very good unit, and I hope you will enjoy. I have very much enjoyed having the "Digital In" function as I can stream audio to the player's DAC. This is, imho, what will save cdp's from the scrap heap - at least for the next few years... | |
| Of f Topic Short-Wave Radio Maintenance Question Thank you both very much; I'll see he gets this info! | |

| Ayon CD-2 sonics? thoughts? opinions? I have a CD-2 unit in for review, and I am in the rare position of having extensive experience with all three Ayon players, most of it in side by side comparisons.The CD-2 is a vast improvement over the CD-1; no contest. It would be wrong to consi... | |
| Legacy Focus HDs Yes, Steve, I did spend extensive time with the combo of the Cambridge 840C and the Focus HD speakers. They are wonderful components together. The Azur is an excellent player at the price, and the Focus HD an excellent speaker at the price - and y... | |
| Legacy Focus HDs For general edification, I just last week upgraded to the Silver Edition of the Focus. Quite a satisfactory improvement in many respects. I enjoyed the rosewood finish on the HD, but the black pearl of the SE is appealing and looks suitably hard c... | |
| You know you're an audiophile if-- You used to hate it when late night came and the family went to bed, because then you'd have to turn it down enough that they could sleep while you were listening in the living room. You said your whole life, "I can't build..." but found courage a... | |
| Audiophiles get NO respect 2chnlben, I see you posted your pic; it looks like you're married to a real dog. From the pics, not too attactive. You could've done better, or maybe not? ;) | |
| Audiophiles get NO respect Shadorne, one of the funniest posts I've read in ages! LOL! |
