    Re: Sonic Frontiers Line 1

    I owned a Line 1. Still miss it. It fail on me once in a particularly nasty way - the volume control encoder went south and whichever way I turned it, gain went UP. Was an easy fix (I did it myself)...

    Re: Goldnote Mediterraneo

    I own the Bryston TT, which is basically a Gold Note with Bryston electronics. I would consider a mediterraneo for it's beauty alone! The only gripe I have with mine - and this is something that may...

    I have had my Ayre Kx-5 and Vx-5 combo for about 6 months now... am very happy with them both, despite really being a tube guy at heart (decided to stick with SS because I am away from home for long...

    Re: Thoughts on the Schiit SYS

    I haven't yet, but in truth if I swapped out the Tisbury for the Sys in that spot I am pretty sure I wouldn't hear a difference. What I will do when I get back (currently traveling) is swap out the...

    Re: Just bought 3" granite slabs to put under my

    CTSooner, we are on a fairly similar path it seems - I am currently using Ayre KX-5 Twenty and Vx-5 Twenty with Treos, but planning to upgrade to Quatros in 2019. On carpeting, I would doubt that...

    Re: Power cable annoyance?

    This has become one of my pet peeves in life. So I will mention two cables that I have used that are great in this regard - the Sablons are almost astonishingly flexible given their AWG, and I also...

    Re: Thoughts on the Schiit SYS

    I own one. I use it between my Ayre Kx-5 Twenty preamp (via the tape outs) and the Parasound 12-channel amp that powers the in-wall speakers throughout the house. All I can tell you is that it works...

    Re: Ayre KX-5 Twenty and VX-5 Twenty combo ......

    I actually was concerned about the 1.5db volume control steps when I bought my KX-5 Twenty, but it hasn't turned out to be an issue. The acid test in my house is whether the wife gripes about it, and...

    Re: Ayre KX-5 Twenty and VX-5 Twenty

    Decided to stick with Ayre, expecting my new VX-5 Twenty to arrive at the dealer's shortly. Banking on the synergy between the Ayre pre and power amp, and as I had said above, would need a pretty...

    Re: Ayre KX-5 Twenty and VX-5 Twenty

    I know, that's what I'm talking about - expected to sell for $15k, which is 50% more than the Ayre. hafta be pretty good for me to pay that $5k more.

    Re: Ayre KX-5 Twenty and VX-5 Twenty

    Mike, have you had an opportunity to hear the new Vandersteen amps? The idea of monoblocks and integral filters definitely appeal to me. I do wish they had priced them a little lower though.

    Re: Ayre KX-5 Twenty and VX-5 Twenty

    Mike, thanks. It's a large room, and also very open, as it opens into the kitchen, a wide hallway, and sort of a common area. So the speakers are firing into quite a large volume. (When we were...

    So under the heading of "There's always gotta be a small snag somewhere" it turns out that the Hegel and Ayre remotes use the same codes. Which is a bit of a pain in the butt b/c when i use it to...
