Ayre AX-7e or Edge G3?
Proth.I am just writing what I heard. I agree that Ayre makes some great gear. But this amp just didn't do it for me. My room is not that big about 26m2 and my speakers are 89dB/m at 6 Ohm average with dips to 3.0-3.5 Ohm So that is nothing specia... 
Ayre AX-7e or Edge G3?
I have only heard the Ayre, and to be honest I was not impressed. I used the Ayre with my CEC Tl51x transport, Wadia 12 DAC and Impulse Aria SE speakers. I felt it lacked the power to rock on my speakers. Maybe it was to clean to well behaved but ...

Thank you for your reply Rich,I was thinking to spend up to €400,- for a cable. As a reference I paid €200,- for a single NBS dragon/fly. I have been looking at 2nd hand NBS cables but I am a bit confused. There seems to be a NBS, monitor and a ac...

I have seen a diagram of a Bryston pre amp with XLR inputs. Funny thing is, the pre amp is not of a balanced design. I don't know if they changed that. But I always feel kind of cheated when an amp or CD player has balanced in and outputs but the ...

dynaudio confidence 5 versus contour S5.4
How big and how loud are you playing Dsh? I am considering an older Dynaudio but my amp only has about 120watt. I sit about 2 meters from my speakers. 
Amp and Pre to match Wilson W/P 8 and others
I think Hikejohn made some very good recomandations. 
Wilson better than Thiels?
Playing music at concert levels or films at THX levels, I would first invest in some custum made earplugs. A concert is most of the time between 100 and 110dBA that will damage your ears.At home I almost never go past 80 to 90dB, 80% of the time I...

Hi Thom,I don't have the experience you have with turntables and I don't think I will aver have. You have me at a slight disadvantage there but so you should since you make turntables. Right now I own my 2nd turntable I went from a Rega P25 to a V...
