| Ayre K-1xe vs Audio Research Ref 3 I appreciate all the responses. I actually have an Audio Research Ref 3 now running with an Ayre V-5xe amp and while I love the sound of the Ref 3, I am a bit annoyed by having to replace tubes, etc. I am wondering if I would be better off upgradi... | |
| Ayre vs Boulder Pranawire and Kubala-Sosna cables work great with the Ayre as well. | |
| To those who've tkn Vandersteen 5A upgrade plunge I would upgrade your components before I spent the money to upgrade the speakers. I think you'd get more bang for your buck by upgrading to the Ayre K-1xe and V-1xe. | |
| Ayre V-1Xe vs VTL 450 I ended up switching out my Ayre K-5xe preamp for the Audio Research Ref 3. The results were not subtle. Unfortunately, I don't have a VTL dealer anywhere close (Chicago), but after hearing the Ref 3, I am seriously considering the matching amps. ... | |
| Cables for Audio Research I am using a Audio Research Ref 3 and Ayre V-5xe amp with Kubala-Sosna Emotion cables and it sounds incredible. BTW, I have heard the Kimber in my system before. You can definitely do better. | |
| Comparing Classe SSP 600 and Anthem D2 I would like to know as well. Anyone? | |
| Ayre vs VTL vs BAT More air, larger soundstage, a more smooth sound, and better dimensionality with better reproduction of the small details are what I am looking for. | |
| Whats better than VTL 450 for the money? Has anyone compared the VTL 450 to the Ayre V-1Xe? How did they match up? | |
| Ayre vs VTL vs BAT What does a turntable have to do with my question at all? | |
| Vandersteen speakers and biwiring Tboooe, the Synergistic cables I am currently using are internally biwired. I am unable to determine the differnce that is provided by this method since I have never run a single run of the same type of cable using a jumper. Right now, I am lookin... | |
| Vandersteen speakers and biwiring Albertporter, it's interesting that you added Richard Vandersteen's answer to your post. I have talked to him personally and he only reiterates what it says in the link..."Some of the benefits of bi-wiring are from the physical separation of the h... | |
| best speakers for Ayre amps ? I have the Ayre stuff with Vandersteen Quatros - really good | |
| Anybody use Running Springs Audio Conditioners? Well, I finally tried a Cardas Mongoose cable. While it is better than the stock cord, it in certainly not unbeatable. For roughly the same price, one can purchase a Pranawire Kensho cord which will be much smoother/dynamic/relaxed in presentation. | |
| Power Cord for Ayre CX-7e ???? I use Running Springs Audio with my Ayre stuff and it is great - definitely better than without. The Synergistic Research and Kubala-Sosna power cords sound great with their stuff. | |
| Transparent Ref MM spkr cbls- How do they compare? I have heard most of the cable brands you mention. Certainly it depends on your system, but in mine and a friends, the Prana was better than the Nordost Valhalla, Synergistic Designers' Reference, and Kimber Select. Where the Kubala-Sosna Emotion ... |
