Ayre K1X vs K1Xe
Kurt_tank- Thanks!I do have a few other questions if you don't mind. Ejlif I don't mean to hijack the thread so tell me to take a hike if you'd like to.Kurt_tank- The K-1x has output gain set at 50db with the gain resister at 75ohms. The e upgrade... 
Ayre K1X vs K1Xe
My K-1x is being upgraded as we speak. I also think it's addition was the single biggest difference in my system any component (except speakers of course) has ever made. I'll report back in a week or so of the sonic changes.Kurt_Tank- Can you elab... 
DPS/Ayre Turntable does anyone know anything
BTW Restock did you know that website is in another language? 
DPS/Ayre Turntable does anyone know anything
Here's the answer to my own thread. That's a new one. Straight from the horses mouth.So I was up at Ayre today for an upgrade to my preamp (I live in Denver and Ayre is about 30 minutes away in Boulder). They are awaiting a shipment of tables from... 
DPS/Ayre Turntable does anyone know anything
Thanks for the comments. I have heard the same thing but I am wondering if these tables are available at this point? Yes I agree the prospect of an Ayre tweaked turntable is exciting! 
Lossless Ipod question
I am 100% sure you have to re-rip them after you have made the proper changes to your Itunes preferences. Go to Edit-Preferences-Advanced-Importing change to import using Apple Lossless encoder. 
Pick a preamp for my system: Ayre or MBL
I have an Ayre K-1xe and I think it is fantastic. I also think Ayre gear pairs especially well with Avalon speakers. It's highly resolving with a great soundstage. I don't know how it would pair with Krell but I suspect well. I haven't heard the M... 
Avalon Indra vs Sonus Faber Cremona M
jordanmoretti-I hope you got a new pair because the finish is spectacular. I'll second the praise. I heard the Indras and Isis. IMHO Isis is the most spectacular speaker I've ever heard. Of course at $65,000 they'd better be right?They're both rea... 
Thiel CS7.2 vs Aerial 20T
Audiolui-I'm still breaking the 20t's in in my system (I bought them used so they are "broken in") as I've only had them for about 5 days now but I am totally amazed! They are incredible and I've already told my wife that under no circumstances am... 
Thiel CS7.2 vs Aerial 20T
I just bought a pair of 20t's and they are awesome. The highs through the ribbon tweater are so real and natural sounding, they make everything else I've ever heard seem fake. And lows are lower than low and extremely full. I recently compared the... 
Avalon Indra vs Sonus Faber Cremona M
I second Mtdking's comments. I just got rid of my Avalon Eidolons after 3 weeks because when I got them home I discovered they are very particular to room placement. I found (among other things) they need to sit out from the rear wall at least 5-6... 
What's a good beginner turntable at $2500+- range?
Thanks. I'll look them up. 
What's a good beginner turntable at $2500+- range?
Sufentanil-My record collection is mostly comprised of Pop and Jazz. Ayre manual says gain is set at the factory to 50dB. It's also adjustable from 40dB to 60dB. Guidelines are 1.0 mV= 60dB, 1.0-3.0mV=50dB and >3mV=40dB. The directions to switc... 
What's a good beginner turntable at $2500+- range?
Original poster here.OK Sufentanil. Yes I'll be totally new to this other than the table I had as a kid until I was about 16.My Ayre Preamp has phono so I am assuming that is all I need, but maybe I need something else too?I am not looking for any...
