I've had the T+A and Ayre AX-7e in my system. The T+A is a clear winner with better mids, clarity, more open soundstage and better dynamics. I found the Ayre slightly lean with a couple pairs of speakers. It's a fantastic SS amp, best I've owned, but make sure it pairs well with your speakers. Never heard the CJ.
Synergistic Integrated and CDP under 5k
I really like simplicity in my system and am looking for an integrated amp that has natural synergy with a cdp. Tubes or SS. I run Tyler 2 way floorstanders at 89db. Musical taste is varied. I'm currently using a very nice setup that includes an Onix Sp3 and EE Minimax cdp. For what this combo costs I get a lot of music.
Examples would be:
Ayre AX-7e Integrated and cdp
CJ CA-200 and UDP 1
Budget is 5k total. I would like to hear from Audiogoners who own the equipment vs. hearing it at a show once or guessing.
Thanks to All
