Ayon Audio Forum- all questions and suggestion

@ Melkior, I am glad you affixed your issue with the Ayon,,, sounds like I will get a better bang for the buck with a $5,000.00 a/c power cord than the tube up-grade!,right now, the player sounds like its coming into its own with break-in, If you were here, you would shake your head and say I need nothing!, The Taralabs zero gold and omega gold has put this player at a level of performance that I do not believe it was designed for!, stunning!,, cheers!

Guys- I have a cd-5- IF I just anted to use it as a transport- can I and how would I hook it up to a preamp- thanks

@ Bopper, Hi,flip the toggle switch on back of player from direct to amp to nomal, then use your supplied remote and mash the vol select button and go from volume to fixed volume, this will set the player to full signal for use with a pre-amp, then you experiment with the gain toggle switch on back of player from low gain to high gain, to see what best matches the pre-amp you are useing,to be able to hear what the best match would be is to turn the volune very loud on the pre-amp with the gain on back of your ayon on high gain, if the sound is not clear, then switch the gain back to low gain for a better sound, this varys with different pre-amps,,, cheers!

@ Melkior, Thanyou for the very informative answer!, very good explaination, Do you believe the Dr tubes are worth the up-grade for $275.00 a tube x 4??, cheers!

Quite cheap for a 6H30DR quad ! If you can afford I think you will be granted for your investment :-)

I don't know how long you have been living with the Ayon, but to enjoy better the DR tubes benefit, you should maybe live enough time with the original tubes in order to have your ears used to its sound, and be sure everything is broken in. Then you switch to DR tubes and listen to several pieces of music you think you know by heart. Then see what happen.. :-)
If you hear things you did not noticed previously or if something surprise you, a detail in the background, a voice more sensual, you're on the right way !
When I bought my DR's I wait several months before switching (Ok I was a bit lazy..) and then I appreciate them a lot. If you starts with, you'll never know where they are better.
