Yes, having no PM has really degraded the value on a'gon to me as well. I do not even see how buy-sell can be done without this and it nearly distroys the sense of community the used to be here

Mike I would also like have you tell your Hendersonville friend about me for a possible get together as I live in Hendersonville but I do not see how to PM anymore on this site. Are you a member of AudioCircle or know of some other way to send con...

I am in the Hendersonville area, am having my Von Schweikerts upgraded to VR 5 anniversary Mark II's and run an Ayon cd5S as front end. Would live to connect in about a month 
DAC Accustics Art - Ayon CD5S - AMR DAP 777
GunsurI agree with Audiofun's cogent review. I have owned the Ayon CD5s for about a year now and it still provides daily doses of awe and wonder at how well it conveys music. In these comparisons it is important to know what tubes people are runni... 
ayon cd 5s remote controller
Mine has worked flawlessly for a year with no battery change. If you just bought it after checking batteries I would ask them to send you a new one 
Meridian 808.3 vs Concert Fidelity 040
I preferred the Ayon CD5s to the Meridian 808.3 in my system though the Meridian was very nice. 
What can you say about the SID from Germany?
I use the de Mat with my top loading pucked Ayon CD5s and feel results are similar to the above mentioned, a touch smoother, less digital, better articulation. Have not noticed a difference in PACE on classical but will listen for this specificall...

My Stagg cables have been in my system for a month a just got better over that time. Grannyring I know you have good ears from the AH and other threads - trust them. But it was indeed for me to believe compared to more expensive cables that the mi... 
Stillpoints Ultra SS vs spikes on concrete
Yup, he and your ears should know what sounds best. Happy listening

Just to be clear, in the past I have heard minor but significant (when you are going for the best sound) differences in good Balanced cables. So I am not of the cable make no difference school. Though usually I can hear greater difference between ... 
Is a hearing aid the best possible tweak for 50+
Good for you for experimenting. Nice to know that this is available. I am 62 and so far blessed with good hearing, but with music being such a love of my life, I would hate to find that pleasure waning in the ensuing years. 
Stillpoints Ultra SS vs spikes on concrete
Ryriken. Might be that your speakers are designed to use the floor to add weight to the bass? Are you on wood or concrete? I am also now letting them settle in and will have opportunity with wife away this weekend to do some more evaluation. Then ...

Yes, looks like the cable which produced noise is in need of better shielding at minimum and perhaps this was over-saturating the mids and lows. But I also have had other balanced IC's in the system that sounded no better than the Stagg at much hi...
