| Cary CAD-211AE tube rolling Hello :-)I have a pair of Cary CAD 211 AE, which have been fully modified inside, believe me the result is simply incredible, beyong what I imagined !There were obviously some limitations coming from the caps and power supply. Fortunately the tran... | |
| Ayon Audio Forum- all questions and suggestion Arg ! Sorry Audiolabyrinth for what happened :-( Hope you have solved the problem, certainly a tube, check at least the fuses if one of them has blown.I also had a problem with my CD5 : one PCM1704 chip failed, but it has been repaired by Ayon in ... | |
| Ayon Audio Forum- all questions and suggestion @Hello Audiolabyrinth :-)Everything is Ok with the CD5 :-) I'm still not happy with the XLR output which causes ground noise, even with high input impedance amps, I'm quite sure there's something wrong with these outputs (like if the ground was no... | |
| Ayon Audio Forum- all questions and suggestion @AudiolabyrinthThe CD5 is absolutely not forward sounding, excepted when 24/192 KHz mode is switched on (I really don't like this set up!). A friend of mine bought the CD1S recently and complained about the same. So he went for the CD3S and everyt... | |
| Ayon Audio Forum- all questions and suggestion Hello :-)Well I did not expect to improve anything with the Reflector 6C4P, as I bought them more to have some spare tubes, but I must say I've been surprised, the CD5 obviously sounds better with them. I say "obviously" because for me it was not ... | |
| Ayon Audio Forum- all questions and suggestion Hello Audiolabyrinth :-)I was not aware that 6H30 DR could sound as 12AX7 or 12AU7 when I bought the Ayon. I had a small stock of NOS 12AX7 and 12AU7 in the past, and was pleased to play with them. According to my experience I would say 6H30 are b... | |
| Ayon Audio Forum- all questions and suggestion 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 ori... | |
| Ayon Audio Forum- all questions and suggestion Hello :-)Sorry, too much work this week !You know the price for 6H30DR 3 years ago was much lower than today, but I'll check soon when I receive the 6C4P and open the Ayon :-)The DR version has a little more of everything, that's the way I would d... | |
| Ayon Audio Forum- all questions and suggestion I bought the 6H30-DR three years ago, sincerely I don't know which year they have been produced, but I can check in the player if some figures are still written on them. Anyway I have to open the unit to put some Reflector 6C4P I should receive so... | |
| Ayon Audio Forum- all questions and suggestion Hello :-)The GamuT M200 MK3 monos arrived this week, they are directly connected to the CD5 with RCAs, and no ground noise at all, even if their imput impedance is 40 KOhms, no tried yet the XLR input (only 20 KOhms) but I'll do it soon.At the beg... | |
| Ayon Audio Forum- all questions and suggestion Hello Audiolabyrinth :-)Yes, quite surprising to have a so good midrange with 6H30 ! Believe me, when coupled to 845 tubes power amps, it's just incredible !For my interconnects I have pure silver cables for digital cables (from http://artisansilv... | |
| Ayon Audio Forum- all questions and suggestion Any tip to learn the IR codes of the Ayon with an universal remote (I have a Philips Pronto TSU 9600) ? No way to make it work, this is the only one my Pronto can't understand :-( | |
| Ayon Audio Forum- all questions and suggestion Hello :-)Before the CD5 I had the CD1 (great unit also), both took something like 150-200 hours to open really. Maybe they go on improving after this time but I found that most of the improvements are achieved after 200 hours. The CD5 has Mundorf ... | |
| Ayon Audio Forum- all questions and suggestion Thanks again :-)Unfortunately as an old owner of Ayon CD5 I was absolutely not aware of this as I found nothing concerning this issue when I bought the unit..So I bought power amps without checking the impedance value. Anyway I know now how to han... | |
| Ayon Audio CD-5 versus CD-5s Thanks a lot :-)I have had some exchange by mail with Gerhard from Ayon, he explained me a few things. I have a ground noise problem because of impedance matching between CD5, preamp, amps etc..Nothing to see with the CD5 (excepted it's more sensi... |
