| Favorite Pre Amp and Amp with Vandersteen? Ayre and ARC are often said to pair well with Vandersteen. | |
| Amp for Vandersteens 2ce sig 2's Ayre and Vandersteen play very well together. I've read that ARC is another good match. I agree with Mcfarland that you should focus on quality, not quantity, of watts. The Sig IIs are *really* good. IMO, you'd have to spend >$10K to get someth... | |
| Lamm 1.2 or Ayre MXR's audiobeat now has the MX-R review posted and it includes a comparison with the Lamm 1.2. Sounds like you could be quite happy either way. | |
| Vandersteen 7 at Audio Connection @buconero117. I haven't heard the Sevens or the JBL Everest but I have heard 3A Sigs and K2 9800 (with similar electronics) and I would pick the little Vandies. They are, to my ears, more coherent and overall better.If I had unlimited $$, the Seve... | |
| Lamm 1.2 or Ayre MXR's From theaudiobeat.com:Ayre MX-Rs: when?October 5, 2010Marc,When do you expect to publish your review of the Ayre MX-R amps? I was ready (after a great amount of thought and a slow build up of cash) to pull the trigger on Lamm M1.2s (to be used wit... | |
| How is the audio performance on the Ayre D-1Xe? The Ayre website has the text:http://www.ayre.com/reviews/Ayre_C-5xe_Review_Shane_Buettner.pdf | |
| How is the audio performance on the Ayre D-1Xe? I own the CX-7, upgraded to "e" series, then to "MP" series. Never directly compared them, but I have heard a few iterations of all three Ayre players. The D-1 is a top-notch CD player - and also plays DVDs, of course. I would guess the C-5 is pro... | |
| Ayre AX7e MP vs ARC CD3 mk2 "I guess you are SOL when they pull the plug."I'm confident Ayre will service any product they've ever made. | |
| PS Perfect Wave Trans/DAC versus Meridian 808.2 >>>these two products, as far as I know, are the only ones using these filtersAdd Ayre to this list, they've been doing this filter type about as long a Meridian:http://www.ayre.com/pdf/Ayre_MP_White_Paper.pdfThe "MP" filter can be found ... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? Ayre AX-7e. Unless I win the lottery (hello Ayre MXR/KXR), this is likely my last amp | |
| Amazing ''Overachieving'' products...your pick? Vandersteen 2Ce Sig II. Do not know of any speaker | |
| If money were no object, what would be in your rig Top shelf Ayre electronics, including the dps turntable, and either Vandersteen Sevens or Avalon Time. | |
| Entry Level Turntable? There's a credible argument that the direct drive Japanese turntables from the 70s and 80s are better than anything new up to $1K, maybe 2K. Check out Technics or Kenwood on eBay - you should be able to get something decent at your price point tho... | |
| Any DACs have the Sabre 32bit D/A Converter ?? The Wavelength Crimson uses the new Sabre chips, but it is well above your price point. Why do you want a DAC with this chip? | |
| Which is the best cd player under $10k? IMO, the Ayre C5-xe MP is one of the best, especially at this price point. |
