| Ayre AX-7e to switch to Naim Supernait Moving from the Ayre AX-7e Integrated amp to the Naim Supernait is, in my opinion, a step down because of its terrific sound quality. I own two Ayre AX-7e amps and like them very much. I have one driving Quad 12L speakers in our family room and an... | |

| How to transfer LP to iMAC Computer Your suggestion above to use the Apogee Duet ADC/DAC to transfer my LP's to my iMAC (iTunes) looks great but the Apogee unit costs $500. I am looking for a less expensive solution. Can you recommend another unit that performs this function at less... | |
| naim vs ayre The Sonus Faber Auditor M Speakers are, in my opinion, excellent speakers. I own the Ayre AX-7e Integrated and like it very much with the SF Auditor M Speakers. I am using a MAC Book Pro computer connected to the Ayre QB-9 USB DAC. I am not famili... | |

My first upgrade was to a Dynakit i stereo 70 and Acoustic Research ar-3 spea... | |
| Questions Luxman L-505u, L-507u, Simaudio & Classe I agree with all of the above posts and, especially, Jatbo & Bob about the side ways move. Yes, I like my Ayre amp but audio is a hobby and it is fun to look and review other amplifier options. I will go to the demo and talk to my friend as su... | |

| LUXMAN 505u? How does the Luxman L-505u integrated amp (or the L-507u) sound compared to the Luxman L-550A II integrated? Maybe the real question is how does the Class AB amp compare to the Class A amp? It is my understanding that both Luxman amplifiers are no... | |
