| If I like sound of Ayre Integrated I would Like... Dave - My point was that I did not have any sense at all that Bill was pushing his wares. I didn't think in the context of this particular thread, and the content of his posts, that a disclaimer was necessary. Beyond that, and in general, I'd agre... | |
| If I like sound of Ayre Integrated I would Like... DK4z, what's a Concerta?I think he meant this Continuum being sold by the PimpMeister his bad self. | |
| If I like sound of Ayre Integrated I would Like... Wow, our audio dealer friend Mr. Feil has really gone over the edge. In the interest of fairness, everyone should go to his site and check out his wares. Maybe that'll stop his trembling lip.I think Bill was being humorous, and I'm not sure what y... | |
| If I like sound of Ayre Integrated I would Like... I can get Jeff Rowland Concerta 250 on ebay for 4000-25% that would be about only $700.00 overpriced.Go for it dude. Give the Pimp your money and put this thread out of its misery. If you're going to drop over 4 large on a Concerta I'm not sure wh... | |
| What the benifit of using a separate dac? WEll, forgive me here, but just where does one go to hear that modded Waddia beforehand?Hmmm, well, I guess you have a point, but some of the modders do show up at the bigger shows (RMAF, VSAC, CES), and you could hear their stuff there. Just like... | |
| If I like sound of Ayre Integrated I would Like... But I digress.That, sir, is an understatement.This starting to remind of some very bad, and very long threads.Yes, I can think of a few other threads that if combined with what this one is well on its way to becoming, may combust and take out a su... | |
| If I like sound of Ayre Integrated I would Like... Pass Labs INT-150 is $6500 (you could almost buy two Ayre AX-7's for that), and looks not unlike the Ayre in that it is a billet box with fins and blue LCD readout. I've not heard it. I have heard a few of his X series and would not have associate... | |
| If I like sound of Ayre Integrated I would Like... I think Bill's figured out what he's looking for...Tom Waits even wrote a song about it. | |
| If I like sound of Ayre Integrated I would Like... I have to disagree with Jax2...I have an Ayre v1xe connected to a K1xe, and the soundstage is as wide as depicted on the recording.You haven't heard my amps :-) so how would you know? Sorry, I should have limited my comment to those amps I've had ... | |
| What the benifit of using a separate dac? The problem as I see it is modding a whatever is ambiguous. Definitely via mods there's gonna be a change... it'll sure be different. Likely better too... but better how, seems the pertinent question.... and there are others.You could make the sam... | |
| If I like sound of Ayre Integrated I would Like... If you like the Ayre, why don't you just get that?Dismissing tubes to a "nostalgic novelty" reflects a very narrow viewpoint and someone who either has precious little experience with modern tube amps, or has not discovered the wonders of Q-tips :... | |
| If I like sound of Ayre Integrated I would Like... Yep, tubes. I recently had the pleasure of having an Ayre V5XE in my system for about a week. What a great amp! No hard edges or harsh clipping or anything at all to make me think of an SS amp (in the bad sense - there are certainly other good SS ... | |
| advice for lenco turntable You might want to contact Albert Porter. He had posted an excellent account of his Lenco rebuild project and may have some good suggestions and or resources. | |
| ugly tweak Come out from under the blanket my friend. I converted from a blanket to a simple absorptive panel covered in wife-friendly fabric (though she still does not approve - oh well, it looks much better than the blanket). The panel fits neatly in front... | |
| What the benifit of using a separate dac? One last question if a Wadia player is so good why do they have to be moded?As an addendum to the answer above - Modders tend to choose some of the best platforms to build upon because it has the potential to show off their work on it even more th... |
