| Pipedreams... Any thoughts? I listened extensively to same system in Nashville that Jschrimpf heard except with McIntosh tube pre and amplification on the towers. The experience was indeed stunning, and these were the smallest of the three lines of Pipedreams. Since, as thei... | |
| Reference CD & DVD Player ? A "reference" quality (IMO) DVD/CD player does exist in the Ayre D-1, but it will cost you far, far more than $1,500.00. As with any other audio component, one has to find your own level of satisfaction and make your own judgments as to what const... | |

| Morrison Preamp Rayhall- Based on what you've listed, I think you have had a more extensive listening experience than I have, so I won't presume to tell you what you should go out and hear. Your very brief description of the Ayre preamp sounds a little bit like m... | |
| Morrison Preamp If by "confirmation" you mean an endorsement, I guess I shouldn't be answering this. I read all the reviews in Audio Review and figured "What can I lose?", and bought one. Have been playing it and comparing it for about a month now, and although I... |
