| What do you do with Ayre? Thanks everyone for the suggestions...I'm continuing to use Synergistic Research Resolution Reference Active XLR's and am very happy with the results. These are cables I purchased about halfway through this thread. | |
| What is an API upgrade? A/G--Any idea how much dough for the Reference Audio Mod? Thanks | |
| Linn Ikemi vs Resolution Audio Opus 21 Kurt, wise choice! Nick, I haven't heard the Ikemi, but owned the Opus for over a year. Prior to purchasing the Opus, I used the Cary 306-200 and I tried the Linn Genki. The Cary was very good, but not nearly as nice as the Opus. And, the Genki wa... | |
| Are "Redbook Only " CD players Obsolete? Dennish, do some research and read about all the wonderful and popular "redbook" players out there, such as the Ayre Cx-7e, Meridian G-08, Resolution Audio Opus 21, to name a few. With these fantastic machines there is no need to move to the expen... | |
| What do you do with Ayre? I decided to go with Synergistic Research based on reviews and feedback from two other Ayre users. They are not broken in completely yet, so I can't comment on how they sound. | |

| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Hey, you guys are too serious. I was only joking about not having alcohol at the shootout. How often are fanatical audio folks who frequent this site able to get together. That's right, NEVER. I hope everybody gets really sh** faced and has a grea... | |
| Esoteric DV-50: Any cdp's Significantly better? Hey, I'm gonna have to take a stand here, although I haven't contributed anything yet to this hilarious post. Anyway, should alcohol allowed at the "Shootout?" I mean, don't we want non-intoxicated reviewers who are actually able to critically eva... | |
| CES and AYRE Irish: I spoke with "Steve" one of the Ayre PR folks about two weeks ago about the Cx-7 I had on order. He told me a little about the new uniuversal player: It's gonna retail for $6000, and of course will be much better redbook than the Cx-7. They... | |
| Power Bars You might check this audioparts auction out:powerhouseoutletstripHe's been doing business on audiogon successfully for some time. I just bought this bar and works great with my Ayre components. | |
| An audiophile who know NOTHING about TV If you have the room and don't mind a bulky set, the cheapest route to go is tubes. Tube TV's still have a better picture than anything else out there. Take a look at Loewe or Sony WEGA. I like the Sony top of the line 34" HDTV Wega, which by the ... | |
| What should I use between spikes and wood floor? I use pennies with a little felt on the side making contact with wood floor. It works fine. | |
| Ayre Evolution Upgrade??? I called and asked the Ayre folks about this since I ordered a Cx-7 with "e" upgrade recently. I can't seem to remember all the details...I know they slowed the transport speed quite a bit, so it may be more durable? Anyway, if you call them, they... | |
