Cayin H80A or Ayre AX-7e


Has anyone ever been able to compare these two integrated amps? Both sell for about $3,000 and I was just about set on the Ayre then I read the review in Stereophile for the Cayin. It is almost impossible to go to a dealer and check out the Cayin here in New Jersey.

I know this is an old thread, so for anyone researching the Cayin. . .

I've got the Cayin H-80A and there is no trace of hum. Maybe the previous poster had a defective unit or some other interference. I don't have any experience with the Ayre but the H-80A has amazing resolution and clarity.
