Any thoughts on ayon cd2s


How does it sound vs. the best Tube CD players
calvinj
I'm here. I been busy. I'm gonna listen to them on loan and see how they sound in my system. I heard the mit matrix 36 and will see how they compare. I will try the air 1 ex. The ayon is breaking in a little. I'm at about 80 hours. It is a special player.
@ calvinj, I can tell you that player will not come into its own untill 450 hours forreal!, Thats really when you need to consider if you want different cables or tubes!, I would hate to see you do something and then the sound changes on you with the player breaking in and it did not work out!, cheers!
Well Calvin , I can tell you that I Have the Tara Labs Air1 speaker cables . They Replaced my DH Labs Q10 Signature speaker cables. I am Bi-amping and am using them on the top (tweeters and Mids)
Below is what i said about them vs. the DH Labs Q10s
Speaker Cables are sounding GREAT. I actually replaced the Coax RCA Interconnects that i was using from Pre-Amp to amp for the Bass section of my L/R speakers with some Cardas Crosslink 2 that i had . I like the sound better now . That bit of Extra fullness that i hade before is now Gone. The other coax sounded a bit slow and fat . The Cardas has hepled that a lot .
Also , the Bass section of my speakers actually receives a Full Range Signal. They are 8 inch Wool/Carbon Woofers. The same Woofer is used for the mids ,except that it has a voicecoil. These are proprietary woofers made for John Sollecito @ Source Technolgy .
I also heard that the company that makes them for him , may have let someone else use them in their speakers , without his permission of course. I beleive that company is Cinepro.
I beleive they use the same Woofers in their Cinepro Evo Mighty Speakers ..
Anyway My System is Sounding better than ever .
OH, Keith , I did switch the Tara speaker cables from the top to the bottom and put the Q!0s on the bottom.
The sound was very similar in the Bass , but the top end was a little harsher with the Q10s on top. I found the Bass to be a little less articulte and just a touch slower than with the Q10s on the bass .The Q10s are just better at bass , but not by a lot . And likewise , the Tara Air1s are better at the mids and the highs . well at least in my system . The Taras are smoother on the top end with a little less emphasis on the mids and especially the highs . Mids and Highs are more forward with the Q10s on top .
SO .I put them all back to their proper location which is where they will stay .
