| Luxman L-550A II or Accuphase E-202? Another excellent choice is the Ayre AX-7e Integrated amplifier. Its list price is $3,500 and used less than $2,000. This unit sounds best when used with balanced inputs. See:http://www.ayre.com/ax7e.htm | |
| Luxman L-550A II or Accuphase E-202? I own the Luxman L-590ax integrated class A amplifier and it is excellent. The class A design makes the music sound very real to my ears. Yes, the class A amplifier runs warm (some people say hot) but is is not a problem as long as you keep it on ... | |

| Is anyone familiar with the Ayre Dac?? I experimented once with the Ayre QB-9 USB DAC. At first, I was impressed with the way it sounded. I used the MAC Book Pro computer with 4 GB RAM and the 120GB solid state drive. I used the Seaport Free Agent Go Pro 500GB external hard drive to st... | |

While it is reassuring to hear positive comments fr... | |
| Esoteric SA-10 or Ayre CX-7e: Too close to call?? Sunnyjim asked a valid question about comparing Ayre to Esoteric and I believe we should answer his question. It makes no difference to me how many questions he asks as long as it helps him get closer to making a decision. His equipment choices ar... | |
| Macintosh MC452 or Mark Levinson 532H I also suggest hte same manufacturer for the amplifier and preamp combination. Would you look at other units besides the MC452&C50 or ML532H&ML326S? If yes, I suggest you look at Ayre separates. | |
| Ayre AX-5 Integrated Amplifier My retailer confirmed the $10,000 list price. I hope to listen to it in mid January but I do not expect to sell my Luxman 590ax integrated amp. |
