| Ayre vs Boulder Why not the Hovland Stratos, it's more natural. They will come up with a matching pre amp in a few months.The japanese distributor is connecting them with YG succesfully.Cables I would recommend NBS black Label, with Ayre and boulder as well. | |
| Advice on power cables Hi,Indeed, ignore all the advice. Only try by your self.With the NBS you found already an exceptional cable.Most other cables in this price range do nothing good! There are so many brands on the market but only a few good ones and it gets harder t... | |
| Pure Note Paragon AES/ebu vs NBS Master AES/ebu Hi,NBS is well regarded about their digital cables and power cords. They lower the noise floor which results in blaccker background and more dynamics. If you do not hear the difference there is probably a weaker link in the system. Try first their... | |
| Best rack for Ayre gear KXr/MXR The Stillpoints Component Stand could be a good choice for your MXR's. They offer real performance and it would be also esthetically a good match, because of the adjustable legs. Another smart design is the ESS rack from Stillpoints but this is no... | |
| Ayre MR-X monoblocks - how good are they?? Charles,Just an idea, you might consider to develop a power amp for the chinese market (MXR-XL) :) In time you have to do this anyway, because there will start a demand from a part of MXR owners.Don't get me wrong, my heart is still beating for yo... | |
| Kimber 8TC or NBS King/Serpent speaker cables You cannot compare those 2 brands. NBS plays in an entirely different league. So go for the NBS. | |
| Ayre MR-X monoblocks - how good are they?? Hello downunder: I owned for many years the Ayre K-1x/V-1x combination and had a lot of fun with it. In this price category I still think there is no competition here. Last year it went to a good friend who is now very happy with it. Togheter with... | |
| AVALON OWNERS... Hi, I use Stillpoints with inverse risers under my Eidolons. They excell with their overall performance. | |
| Top Ten Interconnects of all time... NBS Black Label! Period. | |
| Transparent Ref MM spkr cbls- How do they compare? I have also good experiences with some Transparent cables with good results, never tried the Opus MM unfortunately. Looking at it's price level and their reputation as a very serious cable manufacturer you should also give this one a try. I have t... | |
| Transparent Ref MM spkr cbls- How do they compare? Please also consider the NBS Black Label speaker cable. When you're system is ready for it then this will be your last step. What this cable does is just let you hear better what you're electronics are doing. If you have the opportunity to try don... | |
| Ayre balanced interconnects I tested an Ayre XLR in my Ayre system and found it quite boring (good and open mids, but highs a bit grainy and base a bit dull). My favourite Cardas is still the Golden Cross, which I even prefer over the Golden Reference. The GC is a bit more c... | |
| Are NBS cables are sound better than Nordost ? It's better to judge the right type of cable depending on the quality of your system. Many people make the mistake that they think the most expensive cable is always the best for their stereo. The "big" NBS cables and some other serious brands onl... | |
| Are NBS cables are sound better than Nordost ? Leon: NBS doesn't make the sound bigger than the real size at all. They just show what the components do. You only have to figure out which series of cable you have to apply, dependent on the quality of your components. Many manufacturers let thei... | |
| Power Cord for Ayre CX-7e ???? Hi John,After your recommendation I quickly had a look at their web site and reviews. Very interesting (also very serious prices:-)) and would like to try some day, but I do not live on the american continent and I don't think SA sells over seas. ... |
