Ayon, are there too many ads out there?

I think you need to separate Ayon - the manufacturer, from AyonUSA - the US distributor located in Arizona, from USAtubes - the retailer, also located (surprise, surprise) next door to AyonUSA. The retailer is running these ads, hyping the product.

The problem is, Ayon amps and CD players are getting really good reviews in Europe, so the product may very well warrant the hype. The US distributor / retailer appears to be shady, with a few documented problems, so they may be doing more harm than good. So eah, I'm willing to give the product some slack, but I don't trust the retail channel.

Agreed with Rsrex. I have the Ayon Tritton 3 integrated. The amp is very heavy and welt built. It sounds great and the quietest tube amp I ever had.

@Thuhaile, I'm glad your enjoying your Ayon amp. And yes on the surface
they appear well built. However a high end audio engineer I know with over
25 years experience told me he was not impressed with Ayon amps. He
said they are way too complicated, have way too much internal wire, poor
wiring topology, are unreliable & use propriatory software which once
broke, has in the past been no longer supported by the manufacturer due
to staff turnover,
meaning alternative parts or repair options have had to be used.
Personally, I wouldn't touch these or any other Chinese amps for that
matter.

Haven't seen one ad. Get AdBlocker. It's free and no ads.

Unfortunately AdBlocker will not block the seemingly endless number of ads on Audiogon from USA Tube Audio for all of the lines they sell. They are purchased product listings, not separate ads which AdBlocker could block.
