Ayon CD2 is AMAZING
Those Ayons are like that. Amazing! Your CD-2 will be replaced by the CD-2s in a few months, though | 106 |

Magnepan 1.7
I think high-current amps work nicely with the Maggies, too. My speakers are the 1.6, currently being driven by an Odyssey Audio Khartago Extreme SE - it's just 110 watts, right . . . | 83 |

Has anyone heard FM Acoustics

I've a new MC402 power amp, biggest audio "investment" I ever made ... yes, its powerful, neutral and musical, drives my Maggies (MG1.6) with ease, even with a passive . . . | 20 |

A headache of choice over CD player
I'm running the PS Audio now ... Two years ago, when I was auditioning CD players, I took a number home to try before almost settling for the Ayre CX-7e. Just as I was about to . . . | 17 |

Mesa Baron
Hi Lloydc ... I'm far away in Malaysia, can't find anyone authorised to do this mod, so have stuck with stock tubes, in 2/3 pentode and 1/3 triode mode. I always regretted selling . . . | 16 |

CPI super platter vs. Classic aluminum platter
I recently traded in my Classic for an Aries 3. Before the Classic was sent back, I swapped the Aries 3's acrylic platter for the Classic's aluminum one. No two ways, the metal . . . | 13 |

Maggie 1.6 and Vandersteen 3A sigs
I find that the description of the 1.6 as having a great midrange and little else usually comes from those who haven't heard the Maggies being driven optimally. I drive my pair . . . | 8 |

Magnepan MG1.6
Yes, I would assume they are current, what I'm asking if they would sound any different from a 1.6 from the year 2000-2001? tks | 8 |

Purepower 2000 vs PS audio PPP
I had the option to buy a PPP and PurePower. The PPP worked fine for a few hours and then tripped my mains and kept doing that each time I tried to power it up. I sent it back the . . . | 5 |

Bluenote Stibbert Tube CD/DVD player
This is a great CD player, and I believe it will also play DVD-Audio (if you remember that format). It uses a DVD drive. Sounds even better via its XLR outputs. Tube rolling . . . | 4 |
