| I could not believe it What has better sound - Turntable or CD. People. You cannot evaluate CD performance on a garbage CD player. I have an Ayre C5xe Universal that sometimes (not all the time) sounds better than vinyl. I have also a VPI Scoutmaster with Valhalla Wire ... | |
| Shortlist of best cartridges with VPI I'm using S/Scoutmaster w/val wiring with Ayre k1ze, v1xe and Vandersteen 5A's. My cartridge of choice is Benz Ebony. Enjoy | |
| Home Depot Ext. Cord for Speaker Cable I use them in my system and they sound wnderful - every bit as good as the high priced spread. I have and all Ayre system into Vandersteen 5A's | |
| Modwright SWL 9.0 SE vs. Ayre K-5xe Ayre has top tier construction.. Take a look inside that K1xe and be floored how well its put together | |
| McIntosh C100, Ayre K1 or Mark Levinson 380/380S? I have a K1xe for a few years now (updated from a K1), and it's bullet proof and fabulous. | |
| Power Cord for Ayre CX-7e ???? Isn't tha odd. I can't use anything Cardas in my system. It absolutely ruins it. This may be unusual, but certainly true. I have an all Ayre system. My dealer told me Cardas - anything I installed Cardas made the system worse. Power cords, interco... | |
| Are NBS cables are sound better than Nordost ? Truthfully, there is no way to judge cables except to borrow a pair, install them in YOUR system, and evaluate it for yourself. Nordost is beautiful, but the Valhalla's tend to be a little light sounding. They are fabulous with some euipment, and ... | |
| ANTI-CABLES by Paul Speltz: Anyone Using Them? I am not an electrical engineer and can only tell you what I hear. I have all Ayre equipment and Vandersteen 5A's. I am a professional violin player, and can tell you that Paul's cables set up straight and far from each other sound very real to me... | |
| Cardas vs Shunyata power cords question I had many power cords in my system, and Cardas was the very worst. It closed down the dynamics, was grainy, etc. I called Cardas and asked them if something was wrong, they said that it sounded like it had to be broken in. After 3 months of break... | |
| ANTI-CABLES by Paul Speltz: Anyone Using Them? I have replaced all the interconnects in my system with the Anti-Cable balanced interconnects. They are fabulous | |
| ANTI-CABLES by Paul Speltz: Anyone Using Them? Paul will braid these for you for a sight fee. I found that straight is better | |
| ANTI-CABLES by Paul Speltz: Anyone Using Them? Silver will most likely not make them better. | |
| ANTI-CABLES by Paul Speltz: Anyone Using Them? I'm using the Anti-Cables bi-wired with an Ayre V1xe, and Vandersteen 5A's. There are 4 wires each side from the amp to the speakers. They are not twisted and as far from each other as possible. The sound is stunning. | |
| Audioquest Sky/Evrest or Purist Dominus/Anniversar On my system, Purist cables sound dark - not necessarily closed in, just dark, and not very lifelike. The midrange, is just oh so drippy smoothe. I tried all kinds of cables, and Audioquest Sky and silver speaker cables sounded very, very, real. I... | |
| Stupid question about power cables ... Regarding that 3rd pin.. The proper way to hook everything up is to use that 3rd pin on the preamp, and then no 3rd pins on anything else. Also - get a VTVM. With only the component being test, plug it into the wall using a "cheater" (a 3 prong to... |
