The best CD Player for the money
Fmnp, I suggest you listen to a Vitus SCD-010, Esoteric K-01 or Boulder 1021 before claiming Flash player music is the new phenomenon! 
Ayon cd5-s or Skylla -2 dac. Big improvement
Audioman,I have an audiophile friend who owns a CD-5s and tried Hifi Tuning fuses in his CD-5s and had this to say -"Regarding the fuses, I recently purchased 12 of the very expensive HiFi-Tuning Supreme fuses, all of them required for Ayon CD Pla... 
Brinkmann Bardo vs Transrotor Fat Bob Reference
Well this is my last post on Audigon. I'm tired of the tall poppy syndrome, the wanna be magazine writers, immature copycats, and big egos. And i'm over the complete dicks who have taken over this once great site. Goodbye. 
Brinkmann Bardo vs Transrotor Fat Bob Reference
Ultimately the success of a drive system comes down to implentation & the talent of the audio engineer. Price point does play a part. The old addage applies that you pay, you get. Though if you watch the 'Gon, some killer decks come up fs now ... 
Accuphase E-460 vs Luxman 509u vs Moon 700i
Hi Paul, on reflection I think I was a bit generous in my comments about the Sim. In reality the two amps are probably closer than that. I can't say i'm a huge fan of Accuphase, though I love the look of their gear. I agree with your comment about... 
Ayon Vs. Audio Research Preamps
Hi Scott, yes I think the Orbis will be a great pre at it's price point. It's a good thing you bought spare DR tubes...they'll probably be sold out soon.MG

Lewm, it seems I am spoken for :s 
Brinkmann Bardo vs Transrotor Fat Bob Reference
Hiho, my apology for taking your comment out of context. You sound like you are an enthusiastic vinylphile and have a good understanding of different drive systems. I can appreciate those that find certain systems (eg: idler drive) fascinating and... 
Brinkmann Bardo vs Transrotor Fat Bob Reference
Hi AQ, the Fat Bob Plus is really excellent, very smooth in operation and as you say it has a stunning musical presentation. Thanks for your further insight into their design. Transrotor have just superior design, engineering & forward thinkin...

Well Hiho as they say ignorance is bliss. Enjoy your dd deck.. 
Ayon Audio CD-5 versus CD-5s
02-27-12: LeicachampI have heard the KWA-150 set up with a CD-2s as source run single ended into the MW. The speakers were Wilson Benesch ACT's. This combination sounded wonderfully warm & liquid. Very tube-like! I'd definitely go single ended... 
Ayon Audio CD-5 versus CD-5s
Hi Mn9394, i'm not surprised your CD1s is struggling up against your Lamm amps! It sounds like you're looking for a warm, analogue sounding cdp. My advice is, give most consideration to the dac section, digital inputs and how it handles server bas... 
Ayon Audio CD-5 versus CD-5s
Denon, i'd agree the preamp section in the CD-5s is good enough to knock off the Ref 3. In regard to your Krell 302, the imput impedance is set very high on xlr & should be benign to even the weakest tube preamps. In regard to the metallic "pi... 
Ayon Audio CD-5 versus CD-5s
Hi Leicachamp, I asked Dan this very question previously, and this was his response -"Hi, first of all, it is true that the input impedance of our amps is 15K at 50Hz. Our peamps range from 100ohm-300ohn-600ohm and I have driven our amps WELL with... 
Ayon Audio CD-5 versus CD-5s
02-26-12: Danielk141,Well I guess it depends on the level of deck we're talking about. The vinyl rig I heard demonstrated this to me was a Transrotor Rondino with an SME-V arm, Miyajima Shilabe cart, Vitus SP-101 phono stage & Siltech Royal Si...
