| cabling suggestions with Ayon I also have been running the Gabriel Gold Raptures between my CD-1 and integrated amp with excellent results. | |
| Preamp PC - Elrod Sig II or SR Tesla T2 or ?? A question for all you Synergistic fans. I just got a Powercell 6 with the Synergistic T3 UHC going to the wall, which I really enjoy. I am currently using non-Synergistic powercords (VH Audio Airsine and Flavor 4) hooked up to my integrated amp a... | |
| Gabriel Gold IC's are they really this good? I bought a pair of Rapture IC's from Glory and all I can say is "sweet mother of god" these things have transformed my system. Everything from lower tighter bass to delicate highs. For example, cymbals are remarkably realistic. I'm hearing things ... | |
| Ayon CD-2 sonics? thoughts? opinions? Aggielaw, Just got a Gabriel Gold Rapture that I also purchased from Glory (gary) running from my Ayon CD-1 to the KR Audio Kronzilla SXi integrated. All I can say is "wow", these cables really get the most out of the Ayon. Also, I recently starte... | |
| Do you leave CD players with tube outputs on? THanks, Al. I have the CD-1. The distributor states that the manufacturer recommends turning off with each use. | |
| Do you leave CD players with tube outputs on? I have left my player on for 72+ hours and do hear improvements in sound stage both width and depth, and a little more detail. The CD player runs quite warm to the touch -- Is heat a concern?? | |
| Do you leave CD players with tube outputs on? Great posts, thank you! Thanks Raquel for the thorough discussion and to Al for the physics lesson! I previously used a hybrid integrated amp with 7308 tubes in preamp stage and a Consonance 2.2 CD player with tubes in output stage and left those ... | |
| Integrated Amp - Looking to replace my amp & pre I have the KR Audio Kronzilla SXi with 50 watts output. Sounds great across the spectrum, but can really take control of the bass. I use it now with relatively sensitive speakers, but have used it with speakers down to 87db, no problem. However, A... | |
| High Pwr Tube Integrated for Inefficient Speakers? I demoed the Usher Be 718's in my system running my KR Audio Kronzilla SXi, which is rated at 50W. I didn't have a problem with power. I enjoyed the speakers quite a bit. | |

| Musical full-range in the $3-4K range used? I'd recommend Duke's Audiokinesis Jazz Modules. Efficient at around 93db sensitivity and can be used with a range of amps. I have a pair that I am very happy with and if you search the web, you will hear nothing but good things about them. Duke is... | |
| Recommendation for vacuum tube CD-player There is an Ayon CD-1 on Audiogon in your price range. I have one and am very happy with it. | |
| 2-way speaker with best bass You want "tight and tuneful bass" in a two-way?? Check out Duke's Audiokinesis speakers. I have the Jazz modules and was amazed by the impact and musicality of bass produced by these speakers, which use a TAD prosound 10" driver. These are not sma... |
