| Looking for a Speaker Recommnedation I experienced the same issue. I'm planning to move from the Harbeth C7ES3 to the Vandy Treo CT. I think they are the best all around speakers that do everything well. | |
| Vandersteen I've heard the 3a and Treo ct many times and they are absolutely fantastic. They do justice with all types of music especially complex classicals and rock. Then again, the source and amp was all Ayre acoustics. I don't think it's the speakers. T... | |
| Rogue Cronus Magnum 2 tube rolling Funny how we got different answers from Rogue. I was told that the 12au7 driver tubes made the else impact. In anycase, unfortunately I sold the CM2 and bought a solid state amp. | |
| Ayre Codex - to keep or not to keep Output transformer...interesting. Any suggestions on a model and brand? Thx | |
| Sugden Integrated IA-4 versus Ayre AX-7 Did you end up upgrading to the Sugden IA-4? I'm curious to know your opinion on the amp. Thx | |
| Changed the power cord to SignalCable Magic Power cord on my CroMag II Upgraded to an Audio Art cable (1se). It was much more expensive but the sound improvements were neutral and easily heard. I'm happy with the new cable. | |
| Changed the power cord to SignalCable Magic Power cord on my CroMag II It was the magicpower power cord. Thx | |
| Changed the power cord to SignalCable Magic Power cord on my CroMag II Sad to report but I had to send the signal cable back after a two weeks. I initially thought the cable made the system sound better, but I quickly realized that my amp was no longer neutral sounding (this is not what I wanted). Back to using the... | |
| Good HiFi stores in NY, Washington DC area Go and see John @ Audio Connection. He is the man! | |
| Rogue Cronus Magnum ll with Harbeth 7 speakers Thanks for the good advice guys. FYI...I tried both the 4ohms and 8ohms and I definitely prefer 8 ohms. | |
| Need Balanced DAC with optical and coaxial inputs for 2 channel home theater system Agreed. The number of inputs is one weak point of the Ayre. | |
| Attn Vinyl lovers - what CD Player do you use? I say focus on buying a good sounding DAC and using a decent CD player as a transport. In my opinion (don't kill me guys), you don't need to spend too much money on an expensive CD player. :) I'm getting excellent results using a OPPO BDT-101IC ... | |
| Improvement in CD player transports I’m getting excellent results using a OPPO BDT-101IC as my transport into an Ayre Codex DAC. I started with an old Sony DVD player back from the early 2000s that was made in Japan. The old player has character and the sound is decent but it lacks ... | |
| Need Balanced DAC with optical and coaxial inputs for 2 channel home theater system I wouldn't take the Codex off your list just yet, until you had chance to listen to it. I recently finished burning in my Ayre Codex DAC and after 500 hours, the music the DAC produces is exceptional. I agree that the number and types of inputs a... | |
| Rogue Cronus Magnum ll with Harbeth 7 speakers Thanks. I got in touch with Harbeth. They told me same thing that scott_w is saying....try both and pick whatever sounds better. FYI, according to Harbeth the speakers can handle both 4 and 8 ohms so it's really up to your taste and preference. ... |
