| Would like to hear from Ayre owners especially those who dared to venture. @russellrcncom Please update us with the comparisons. Those integrateds would all be on my short list too. | |
| Magical Marantz 22## receivers I owned a Marantz 2230 and it was nice. I liked the flywheel tuner the best. But when I replaced it with a NAD 3140 my large Advents really came to life. It was no contest. | |
| Would like to hear from Ayre owners especially those who dared to venture. I should add that I am using an Ayre P-5x phono pre at the highest gain setting to accommodate my low output m/c cartridge @ 0.2 mV. While my DAC is totally silent, I can hear some hiss from the phono when my ear is less than a foot away from the... | |
| Would like to hear from Ayre owners especially those who dared to venture. Thank you both for your replies. I should have included VAC too. I am also running a Codex. This may be my last pre (really!) so reliability is a big factor. | |
| What's Your Take on This ? That was first published in 1987 and the other "bargains" mentioned, i.e. B&K, Shure, Superphon, were truly really good for the money. I owned two of those pieces. | |
| Let's talk power cords @atmosphere-thinking more about the diode effect analogous to a fuzz pedal, what if the effect was much more subtle than a fuzz pedal yet still perceptible to the human auditory system? Possible? Could it be measured, and if not with current tech... | |

| need a 75 ohm digital coax with a 90 degree right angle plug vs RCA cable Another possibility is Blue Jeans Cable. They build and ship the usually in 24hrs. Tell them you want 75 ohm connectors. You can also terminate with BNC connectors and add 75 ohm RCA adapters. | |
| exceptional voices of female singers (non-classical) I can't believe I had to scroll down this list to almost the end to find Annie Haslam's name. You beat me to it but I'm going to list it again anyway:. ANNIE HASLAM (of Renaissance fame). For clarity and beauty she's up there with Eva Cassidy. | |
| Do I have to brand match preamp and amp? @thynamePlease Please let us know how you get on with that new preamp. | |
| How does a Transport effect sound? Steve N.Thank you very much for testing the cables and posting those new data. It seems the spectral plots may be more useful than the jitter distribution (which looked amazingly similar) when trying to correlate with listening impressions. It w... | |
| How does a Transport effect sound? Was just going to post that I got your address off your website. Thanks. | |
| How does a Transport effect sound? Steve N.,thanks for the offer to test the two cables above. Both are outfitted with BNC RCA adapters. it will be interesting to compare your measurements to your silver cable and any subjective listening impressions. Am I sending these to Bend? | |
| How does a Transport effect sound? @audioengr Have you ever directly compared the Canare LV-77s and Belden 8281F coaxial cables for jitter? | |
| Anybody watch the Grammys tonight? Maybe music will improve the day computer algorithms are better able to translate the way music moves us humans emotionally and intellectually instead of just physically. |
