It sounds like your VX-5 was not burned in all the way. I have a VX-5 and it is truly an excellent amp. I also have an audio research ref 150 and it competes very well with that amp, although ultimately I do prefer the audio research amp. But it should be better because it costs $5000 more. And I generally prefer tubes. The Ayre did require an extensive break-in to really come on song.
