ayre v-5xe has consistant noise after warm up
The noise right now is a nuisance. Michael's advise to live with it because there may not be a fix, and it still functions may be the best approach right now. My initial question is not being answered. Has anyone dealt with this? I find it hard to...

The amp will make this noise sitting by itself, not hooked up to any other equipment or speakers. 
ayre v-5xe has consistant noise after warm up
Michael said after paying shipping both ways, there may not be a fix anyway, so you can live with it,or they would look at it. I just bought the unit used and the previous owner just got it back from Ayre for a different problem, and was told by M... 
cd player that forgives bad cd recordings
The Meridian 808s are mentioned as examples of what I would hope to find. They have a filter process and I've read the pros and cons. I would prefer a player without volume control. 
Is a Sonic Frontier Power 2 a "differential amp"
Chris Johnson responded by email, as he's done numerous times in communication exchanges, that the Sonic Frontier amp is a fully differential amp.

Shakeydeal, The same gear is why I say you may not of had the synergy with the Sonic Frontier amp. It's that simple. I'm running a Meridian cd, Sonic Frontier Line 3 SE and Sonic Frontier Power 2 with upgraded tubes etc. with Audience cables into ...

Harbeth 7es2 vs Harbeth 7es3
I own a pair of C7ES2 and have the upgrade itch. It may just be cabin fever. I was wondering what I would gain by upgrading to the C7ES3. 
Will I benefit with 20 or 15 amp dedicated lines
I emailed Chris Johnson of Partsconnexion and designer of Sonic Frontier and he said the amp may perform better with 20 amp but 15 amp would be fine. He said the preamp is so regulated in the power supply that there would be no help with 20 amp. 
left speaker is louder than right speaker
The off centered sound seemed to just happen the other day. It was with any cd I played. my only source is a Meridian cd player. I felt I narrowed the situation to the preamp. I switched out the 6 tubes with another batch I had. The left channel s... 
best sounding small speakers
The Tyler Reference Monitors with matching stands will get you in with awesome sound, and the wife factor also. Speaker placement is very forgiving. Get some good electronics. Find a pair on the 'Gon at very low prices and don't let that low price...
