| Ayon Audio CD-5 versus CD-5s Mel: I look forward to your feedback on how it sounds! | |
| Ayon Audio CD-5 versus CD-5s Mel: Thanks for the feedback; I've heard the CAP-2100 and am sure you would be blown away by the differences sight unseen as that piece does not have a great pre-amp section; it always struck me as a bit flat up top, unrevealing in the mids and no... | |
| Ayon Audio CD-5 versus CD-5s BTW...what is the additional tweak that will take the performance further? | |
| Ayon Audio CD-5 versus CD-5s Thanks for the response. I did see the new website update from Ayon. This player interests me quite a bit despite the fact I remain extremely happy with my Esoteric P-03U/D-03 stack. Bill Duddleston and Legacy in general as well as people like Dou... | |
| Ayon Audio CD-5 versus CD-5s I received the following summary list from Paul at Ayon;1) Improved volume control design2) New Pre amp design3) Improved tube output stage4) 24/96 asynchronous USB input5) XLR inputs | |
| Legacy Classic HD Dave (Dio): Did you make it to the factory? How was your listening session and what do you think of the Classic versus the SE for your purposes? I have frequently moved the 20/20s, HDs and SEs around by myself and can share some info with you abou... | |
| Any suggestions for amp for Legacy Whisper XD If you are still looking for a great amp match for Legacy speakers I'd suggest the Edge NL 10.1 or 12.1 (when they come up used on A-gon they are much lower in price than their retail). They will give you extensive and accurate bass and beautifull... | |
| exactpower ep 15A I don't remember what MAP told me however I do think they will tell you over the phone or point you to a local dealer if one exists for you that will give you this info. | |
| Toslink Question ? The Interlink Reference and M-Series were/are in the $100 price range. The Optilink-5 from AQ retails at $495 today though you can get one for less on Audiogon/other sources. The difference to my ears in 5.1, 6.1 and 7.1 was very noticeable. | |
| Toslink Question ? I've used Monster's best TOSLink cable years ago and did find their connectors were spring-loaded and connected to the source or destination unit very well. Of course, I also found that 1 pre/proc I utilized back then had variations in the size of... | |
| Toslink Question ? Thanks for the explanation; it makes sense. I agree given the distance, there is no way that is happening here on the cable itself... | |
| Toslink Question ? Paulsax: Thanks for the correct on TOSlink fiber induced dispersion....One thing I'm confused about then is that like any other digital signal (incoming or outgoing), somewhere along this path there is a negative impact from jitter being introduce... | |
| Toslink Question ? Digital cables that are damaged or of low quality can introduce jitter which does damage the quality of what you hear viz what your pre/pro gets to decode. I used toslink for many years but found that for the money, any S/PDIF 75-ohm coaxial cable... | |
| the benefits of romex & oyaide WPZ Agreed....getting rid of Romex and going with good quality OFC (10 gauge, I did not use Oyaide, just good high quality OFC) in a good conduit with correct grounding, etc....accompanied by Oyaide R1s did wonders for my last 2 systems as well! | |
| The pursuit of bass... Agreed with all that has been said hear regarding getting all frequencies as close to 'right' as possible and the difficulties of getting midrange right as the alternative is often hard on the ears and intolerable. Full spectrum bass adds so much ... |
