| Electrocompaniet Nemo Twilo...I too am using the Ayre V1xe. Your post about the amp getting hot is a puzzelment - you must be driving it pretty hard. My amp gets warm, but never hot. | |
| Integrated Amps with a Headphone Input In many cases, the headphone jack is powered by a seperate and much inferior chip rather than from the audio output of the amp itself. Those who are interested in getting the best headphone performance should check with the manufacturer of their c... | |
| Whom to invite to a Powercord shootout party You're wasting your time. A cable that performs well in one system might be awful in another. The winner of the shootout may very well come out at the bottom in your system. | |
| Should cable elevators be used? Rok2id...ok...Say it ain't so | |
| Should cable elevators be used? Rok2id...absolutely they would...if people are told they fix some imaginary fault, and if people are willing to send their checks, there is no reason why they souldn't be manufactured. If they help your system send a check...that's what moves the ... | |
| Merlin VSM MXr vs Thiel 2.4 vs Dynaudio C1 I think Thiel is a good choice for Classical Music if and only if you mate them with components with no warts upstream. ..but isn't revealing what's recorded the reason one gets good speakers? Merlin is the poorest choice of the speakers mentioned... | |
| Should cable elevators be used? i DON'T HEAR ANY DIFFERENCE WITH OR WITHOUT THEM. | |
| Which MC for my setup? Benz and Dyna cartridges work very well with the VPI arm | |
| Best Solid State Amp w/ Avalon Eidolon Diamonds ..my take on your suggestions Glai.... Boulder amps have grainy highs which will mercilessly be revieled by the Diamond's tweeter. Rowland has a more polite sound (maybe a bit rolled off) which will not bring out the best in that tweeter. Ayre is ... | |
| Best Solid State Amp w/ Avalon Eidolon Diamonds Peter...what are you talking about....Im suggesting using these interconnects. | |
| Free speaker tweak that's a must do Ed...this isn't always a good thing. For instance..the B&W 800 series drivers are mounted loose with the use of foam plastic gaskets. By tightening the drivers, you squash the gaskets and the speakers are not operating as designed. | |
| Best Solid State Amp w/ Avalon Eidolon Diamonds Hi Peter - If you already have a K1xe...and don't feel the need for monoblox, try using Anti-Cable's new Reference balanced interconnects. I've just got a meter pair and am amazed how it simply removes hash and junk that stands in the way of the s... | |
| Best Solid State Amp w/ Avalon Eidolon Diamonds I would limit myself to the best amplification...Ayre and Audio Research since you have such revealing speakers. If money is an issue, either of them have great support facilities so that buying used would not be an issue. | |
| Parasound JC2/ Aesthetix Calypso/Ayre K-5xe - Help Ayre equipment love to work together. They are better together than each of them are separately. Be sure to run them with balanced interconnects for best performance. | |
| Power cables for Conrad Johnson and Vandersteen I tried lots of powercords, and my personal favorites are those I made myself from parts bought from VHAudio. Furutech ends with Acrolink cable. Does everything I need it to do. |
