| ARC VSi60 vs Ayon Spirit II/III Hi Folks,Quick unproductive update. I was traveling on 09 March, and completely missed the Spirit II that sold. I imagine it was gobbled up rather quickly. For reference purposes, did anyone catch what price it sold for?In looking for ways to avoi... | |
| ARC VSi60 vs Ayon Spirit II/III Hi Folks,Unfortunately, I haven't yet had the opportunity to spend time with the Ayon. I have enjoyed the ARC equipment I've had in the past (and the audition time experienced with the VSi60), but just on gut feel alone, I know the Ayon is the rig... | |

| ARC VSi60 vs Ayon Spirit II/III Hi Folks,Thanks again for the input.Pehare, I do agree about the ARC being a bit dry. At the same time, I was very impressed with the punch of the ARC, and I did enjoy the time I had listening to the vsi60 (which was matched with the Ayre CDP I ha... | |
| ARC VSi60 vs Ayon Spirit II/III After reading a post response that referenced a recommendation for a sauce to accompany an undisclosed entree ;-), it would be good idea if I included the speakers I have:Sonus Faber Grand Piano Home, second gen.The link in my original post pointi... | |
| ARC VSi60 vs Ayon Spirit II/III Hi Folks,Thanks for the feedback!I've had an SP9 MKII preamp previously and enjoyed it a lot. then I went the SS Integrated route.I've heard the VSI60 with the Sonus speakers I have, and the Ayre CX-7eMP CDP that I have, and there is a fine synerg... | |
| TV power cords; Money well spent, or money wasted? After reading your responses, I'm getting the overall impression that purchasing a higher quality pc may add some additional benefit by way of brightness and detail, but that I would be better served taking that money, and channelling it (pun inte... | |
| TV power cords; Money well spent, or money wasted? Please feel free to forward the bill to Sony, for their inherent lack of trust in the integrity of their own products and/or for the explicit or implied belief in the incompetency of their customer base.Good point bringing up conditions of the War... | |
| TV power cords; Money well spent, or money wasted? Hi Mst, and Stanwal,Interesting point about the warranty. It is ambiguously enough worded so that it can imply that use of a power cord not supplied, or recommended by Sony voids the warranty. Here's an edited excerpt:" This Limited Warranty only ... | |
| room acoustics: bonded logic, homasote, or... i will be in touch with sss, and yes, i have made a deliberate choice in using sustainable/recycled materials. i'm actually hooked on the idea. i'll build some type of wall mount (hoping not to create something to hideous and/or embarassing) for t... | |

| Interconnect for sweet, silky violin sound I'm happy that you've allowed your unique experience to act as guide. It's a nice place to be, and refreshing to hear, especially as this hobby is by no means a science.Don't forget. The sweet spot is always at the peak of an equilateral triangle,... | |
| Interconnect for sweet, silky violin sound Not meaning to sound coy, or arrogant, and understanding that you're not wanting to get into the whole component thing, but you have to understand, as I'm sure you do, that you are essentially listening to attenuated juice courtesy of your local u... | |
| Can we objectively rate speaker cables? Interesting discussion, however, not much movement towards a consensus. I suppose this is to be expected as we don't live my a hive social structure.Why not use Rova's criteria/definitions, mash it up with the scaling Nasaman employed. We all know... | |
| Ayre CX7-E vs Rega Saturn; your thoughts please Hi Folks,I appreciate the feedback, and it supports my inclination towards the Ayre. I had the opportunity to listen to both machines in a shop in NYC. However, the associated electronics, cables, and speakers were different for each player, and s... |
