| Biggest Baddest Audio Cables I would put Pranawire, Kubala-Sosna Emotion, and JPS Labs Aluminata at the top of the list. | |
| Suggestions for CD player $2-3k used? If you are looking to run your player balanced, I would think about going with the Ayre. The products that they produce sound much better when run with balanced cables since they put their money into designing fully balanced circuitry. If you are ... | |
| Power Cords for Ayre K-5xe and V-5xe Interesting that Richard would say that. If you look on audioasylum.com, Charles Hanson from Ayre has commented on a few postings that he suggests upgrading the power cords on the Ayre amps...even the new $15,000 monoblocks. I do agree that power ... | |
| Power Cords for Ayre K-5xe and V-5xe Brusso, your findings are interesting. I have played around with a number of other power cords and almost all bested the stock Ayre cords. | |
| Best digital cable to audition? Has anyone heard the Kubala-Sosna or Pranawire digital cables? If so, how did they compare to others you've heard? | |
| recommendation for best $1500 speakers? Take a look at the Vandersteen 2Ce Signatures. Hard to beat for under $3k. | |

| Ayre K-5xe preamp? How close to K-1xe? I continue to struggle with the idea of getting the phono board. Based on what I've read, vinyl looks like it's a pain to take care of. I am also turned off by the selection of music (or lack thereof) in the genres I tend to enjoy. I've also seen ... | |
| Pranawire Deva vs. Kubala-Sosna Emotion I recently compared the Pranawire Nataraja to the Kubala-Sosna Emotion and liked the Prana better on my system. It was smoother and more dynamic with more dimensionality | |
| Ayre K-5xe preamp? How close to K-1xe? I have heard the K-5Xe with and without using a Runnings Springs Audio Haley. The dynamics and sound floor were definitely improved. One key characteristics of the Running Springs is that it does not limit current, however. | |
| Anybody use Running Springs Audio Conditioners? Well, I don't know how much difference the Mongoose makes, but I tried a VH audio flavor 4 and the sound improved quite a bit. | |
| Vandersteen Quatro Hum Note - I was also able to eliminate the hum by plugging the amp into a Running Springs Haley power conditioner instead of the wall. | |
| Vandersteen Quatro Hum Thanks guys. I called Ayre. Initially, they were unsure of what the problem was. Then I talked to Charlie Hanson and he informed me that it was a ground issue on the amp and that if I sent the amp back it would be upgraded for free. | |
| Pranawire Deva vs. Kubala-Sosna Emotion I know I've seen posts from Calloway about the Cosmos line. Maybe he can shed some light on the Deva line in comparison to the Emotion. | |
| Transparent , Kubala , Luminous , or RS Poiema I would like to update a comment that I made previously on this board. Due to the posts on the board, I reauditioned the Kubala line. I would like to retract my previous statement. These cables are quite good and are definitely at the top of the p... |
