| Reimyo CDP-777 vs Ayon CD-5 Hi Kingstyles1, yes I read that review, but would like to hear from any members who have personally compared the two players. Reviews can be a bit biased, no disrespect intended to reviewer Wojciech Pacula. Cheers. | |
| ayon cd5 vs Audio Aero Capitole Reference signatur Ayon if you want a more musical, dynamic performance. AA if you want a more relaxed, layed back presentation. But in terms of quality & bang for buck, I don't think you can go past the Ayon. An awesome sounding player. It is a special player. | |
| Audio Research Reference 3 voltage conversion Just take it to a high end audio engineer in your country. I had an integrated amp converted to my local voltage for about $90 Euros. | |
| Onebox solution with grunt? Another vote for Ayon CD-5. When you consider Ayon use some of the best power supplies in the world, and a phenominal true balanced triode based architecture...you're getting a heluva lot for the money. I'd take the CD-5 over an Accuphase, AA, Wad... | |

| the preamplifier built in the ayon cd5 is great? Check out the Dagodo review. That reviewer rated the CD5's preamp as superior to everything he has heard up to Vac Renaissance Sig (a $14k pre!). I own a CD5. I rate it higher than the Audio Research CD8. In terms of your question "Is is greater t... | |
| Under $10k budget Preamp suggestion, please. Ear gear...great sound, weird design. "Caveat Emptor"..when they go bang, they go "BANG".Email me is you want to see a photo of a destroyed EAR.. | |
| Hi guys, a tube amp for my micro utopia be Hi Saviourwin, personaly, I think 15 watts is a bit lean to drive your Focals. There is a Vac Renaissance 70/70 on AG at the moment for about $4k which was a $16k amp and looks stunning. The Vac will give you plenty of power & wonderful tone. ... | |
| Hi guys, a tube amp for my micro utopia be Marakanetz, agreed. High quality headphone amps come up for sale for reasonable prices regularly on AG. Choose an amp regardless of whether a headphone amp is onboard. What is your budget & power requirements? | |
| Under $10k budget Preamp suggestion, please. You're right Peterayer. Thanks for stepping in and commenting. The latest Pass amps have been reviewed as having a sonically neutral character, so I would have thought should work well with Windowsx's Spectral amp. I'd try to get loaner spectral &... | |
| Hi guys, a tube amp for my micro utopia be Hi Saviourwin, in respect of the Jadis DA88s, before thinking seriously about that option, first have a read of a service report from renowned Audio Engineer Dallas Clarke (www.clarkeaudio.com). Once on the site, click on the "service" menu option... | |
| Hi guys, a tube amp for my micro utopia be Could be Marakenetz, it depends on space, budget and personal preferences.. | |
| Solid state preamp warm up time? I'm with Mrkoven, if your amp has a standby mode, then just leave it on standby and your amp will be up to optimum operating conditions within an hour, otherwise leave it on 24/7 if you're using your amp most days.. | |
| Hi guys, a tube amp for my micro utopia be Hi Saviourwin, if you're looking for a beautifully built, reliable & nice sounding tube amps which will amply drive your Micro be's have a look at Ayon's class a tube amp which are beautifully built & made in Austria, or there is a Leben C... | |
| Under $10k budget Preamp suggestion, please. Well the question here really is which pre-amp is best for your needs. As has been said many times before, if you're going to use a ss amp, then add some balance with a tube pre-amp (eg: Hovland HP100) or if you're running tube amps, add a ss pre-... |
