| Ayre K-5xe preamp? How close to K-1xe? I added the V-1XE to go with my P-5XE and K-1XE a couple weeks ago. This combo of Ayre gear is very, very, good. The best SS I have heard. Rich, smooth, lots of texure in the midrange and great bass. I am going to add the CX-7E for redbook. I also... | |
| Balanced xlr or rca for Ayre C5xe I doubt the AQ cables were the problem. I have tried the Cardas GR and GC from start to finish and they took my Ayre system back two steps. (golden cross worse than GR) I use all AQ and the system has come back to life. I will however agree that r... | |
| Ayre balanced interconnects I had all Audioquest cables in my Ayre system. Then tried the Cardas GR and then the GC cables. I didnt care for either of them in my system (veiled, slow, forward and just not what I was looking for) and have now gone back to all Audioquest cable... | |

| Non VPI Tonearms for Scoutmaster I'm interested in this also. I'm using the sig. arm with my SSM. | |
| The synergy of Ayre a.k.a. the Hvu, If you could use seperates I think the K3/V3 combo (even though rated at 100wpc) would drive your Totems fine. These can be found pretty cheap used. | |
| Best interconnects for AYRE gear ? I've used Cardas Golden ref. and the Golden cross cables from begining to end with the Ayre gear. Could not get into any of it. i have had tried others also, but the Audioquest DBS cables (anything from Panther and up) have given me the best resul... | |

| Thiel 3.7 Bad news. Just got an email from Dawn at Thiel, they wont have a pr. of the 3.7s for me to compare to the 7.2s on friday. I'm still going to go and hear the 7.2 setup in their room, but was really looking forward to hearing the 3.7. The tour of th... | |
| Thiel 3.7 Irish65, Thanks. I cant wait until friday! BTW, the 7.2s in the Ayre system are by far the best combo of smooth, without a hint of hardness, and still tons of detail that I have heard from any Thiel system to date. Addicting. Thanks! | |
| The synergy of Ayre a.k.a. the I have had the chance to spend some time in front of a system of CX-7E > K-5XE > V-5XE > Quatro. This is an awesome system that is so musical and listenable. Cables were JPS (not sure which) from start to finsh. Two others I have heard th... | |
| Thiel 3.7 Unsound, I am on my honeymoon at the moment. You know your wife is the one for you when she gets as excited as you do about spending part of your trip in KY. listening to Thiel speakers!! | |
| The synergy of Ayre a.k.a. the Dont know the answer to #2, but the the cables are $900.00 a pr. for 1M $1200.00 for 1.5M. I talked to Ayre thursday so this should be current. I have tried all Cardas Golden Ref. and Golden Cross. Didnt like either by them self or combos of the t... | |
| Thiel 7.2 and the 3.7 Gundam91, No problem at all. |
