So my Ayre AX7E arrived this morning in one piece, quite an achievement considering it was packed by a UPS store and shipped from California to Florida, a hot subject in another thread!
Connected it up to the Esoteric d07 DAC and my analog sources, cassette, cdp and phono.
Have to say with the Triangle Altea ESW speakers it is just to bright.
Changed out the speakers to my Scansonic MB2.5 and I would say the balance is just right.
Now is it better than the Lyngdorf 2170?
Hard call that will need time to evaulate but unfortunately this week I am back to work after my enforced "vacation" and in Dallas, Texas all week, just where I wanted to start again!
