| Ayre V-5xe/K-5xeMP or Modwright KWA-150/LS-100? I heard the Ayre at a dealer where I bought my Maggies...it might have been the source or room or cables (nordost), but the sound was etchy and flat. People who have heard the same Maggies in my setup versus the same dealer reach the same conclusi... | |
| What Power Cord can improve clarity and bass slam? When I tried different power cords in my system most robbed me of "bass slam" - quieting the noise floor but also diminishing dynamics. Only ones that let true punch come thru in my system were Audience. Energy is drippig off every note. | |
| Fast power cables? If your amp is able to send as much current and signal through uncluttered with grunge, the speakers take that and run with it. I was a doubter on power cables and conditioners until I put audience "e" powerchords and AR12-TSS conditioner in my sy... | |
| Ayre V-5xe/K-5xeMP or Modwright KWA-150/LS-100? Thanks for reply Stringreen. Vandersteen to my ears captures the emotion of the music - hard not to tap your foot when listening to a pair. Not sure what it is about them that are special (timing, frequency range, staging) but they are special. If... | |
| Fast power cables? Audience are fast and dynamic - breathes life into the music. | |
| Ayre V-5xe/K-5xeMP or Modwright KWA-150/LS-100? Stringreen, you own the speakers I would like to have - Vandersteen 5A. Those are some of the most musical speakers around at any price. | |
| Ayre V-5xe/K-5xeMP or Modwright KWA-150/LS-100? When I have HEARD Ayre gear it is nice but very solid state sounding - a little dry. I own a Modwright 5400es cd player and it is the only cd player I have heard that sounds almost as good and organic as vinyl. I haven't heard their amps or preamp... | |

| VAC 160i, any experiences VAC watts punch way above their stated rating. I found the 130 wpc on VAC 300.1a was more like 200-300 watts per channel compared to other amps. | |
| Comparisons -- low cost cable swing with big boys? I plan on getting more audience -- first speaker cables, then 3 more interconnects so everything can be run Audience 100%. I couldn't pass up getting some more Bob's Devices cables though..for recordings that have a bit of a bite and need 1/2 clic... | |
| Comparisons -- low cost cable swing with big boys? Just ordered 2 more in 1 meter and 1.2 meter. This Vintage US Wire rocks -- high resolution, big soundstage, one dollop of warmth/presence in the mids. | |
| Comparisons -- low cost cable swing with big boys? Great reply Al thank u. | |
| The Best Way to Clean Records Sarcher30, that's funny! Only after using bbq lighter fluid and an SOS pad to get rid of any surface blemishes. | |
| Audience Au24e vs Cardas Golden Reference Cardas is a very good cable. The next step up for me in extension and control is my Harmonic Tech Magic Link 2. The Audience brings in more air and clarity and no coloration. More open and larger soundstage. One recent acquisition has my head spin... | |
