| Clayton Audio M300 Upgrade Thanks, Jond. From some additional research, the upgrade does improve bass dimensionality and tone. Additionally, there is better transformer isolation, thus its quieter. I also was informed to consider replacement of all capacitors due to age ... | |

| Von Schweikert VR-5SE vs VR-5 Anni's Thanks, that seems to be the general concensus. Hopefully, I can find a good deal on a used or demo set as people upgrade to some of the new offers such as the VR-77. | |
| Suggestions on a Musical, Full Range Speaker The actual distance from the center of a driver would be a little more than ~2 ft. The Montana ESP2 look good as well as Von Schweikert's or Reimer Wind Rivers (discontinued). | |
| Krell Evolution Preamp in Non-Cast System Sorry, I know that Krell has placed an emphasis on the CAST syste. I mean't to ask about using Krell pieces outside that system and with other manufacture components. Example: Using Krell Evolution preamp with Ayre, Clayton, or other monoblock amps. | |
| Preamp Experiences with Atma-sphere Amps I've heard that that the atma-sphere is potentially hum sensitive depending on the tubes used in it. More sensitive to tube matching and selection. | |
| Cary 306 SACD Professional What type of price discounting can normally be found on the Cary gear? | |
| Suggestions on Balanced Pre-Amp for Claytons There is a review in Positive Feedback addressing the new 200's, which were considered an improvement. The 300's were recognized as part of a best room award at 2007 RMAF. 300's have larger power supply and bigger capacitors for even better resolu... | |
| Suggestions on Balanced Pre-Amp for Claytons A Clayton Pre-amp could be a consideration, but it also could lend to a leaner, dry sound verses using a tube based preamplifier for some warmth and musicality. I've seen more references of Clayton amps being used with tubes for realistic music re... | |
| Suggestions on Balanced Pre-Amp for Claytons Your right on the Shindo, RCA only. Good suggestion on the ARC, since I had forgotten about that one and it does get good reviews and can be had at decent price. The MBL and Gryphon are on the expensive side for a tube sound in SS package. I'm goi... | |
| Feedback on new Ayre MX-R Monoblocks John: Share your set up! | |
| best speakers for Ayre amps ? I read that Ayre is using the new Thiel 3.7's at the CES show in two weeks with the MX-R monoblocks. | |
| Feedback on new Ayre MX-R Monoblocks I just demoed the Ayre MX-R connected to a Shindo tubed pre amp, Esoteric 03, Wilson Maxx II's, and Siltech cables/inter-connects. Sounded unbelievable! I can't believe that any would call these dry and lifeless if they've been set up properly. It... | |
| What is the best SS Amp and Pre given the trends? I just demoed the Ayre MX-R connected to a Shindo tubed pre amp, Esoteric 03, Wilson Maxx II's, and Siltech cables/inter-connects. Sounded unbelievable! | |
| Feedback on new Ayre MX-R Monoblocks Given what I've read, I think that burn-in and cable/wire selection have a tremendous impact on the MX-R performance. I've been a long time Linn supporter based upon their earlier musical, rounded sound (Klout) but am looking for more detail, soun... |
