Any thoughts on ayon cd2s

@ Calvinj, yes!,interconnects straight from ayon player to amp,, caution!, You have toggel switches on the back of the unit, as a matter of fact, you are suppose to be useing your unit at all times on low gain setting!,2.5volts, this gives you less clipping, if eany at all for your output of the signal., first, diconnect your interconnects period!, depending if you are useing your player with rca or xlr, flip the toggle for use with rca or an xlr, then flip the toggel to direct to amp, flip another toggel to 0, not 180!, on your invertness toggle switch, plug the player up, connect the player with i/cs into the amp, caution, leave amp off!, turn on the ayon, turn volume all the way down!, turn power amp on, mash play on the unit, you will hear a ping sound when you do this!, Its normal!, its your caps engageing!, ajust desired volume to your likeing!, wala!, remember, your ayon will sound bad, very bad, untill it breaks-in!,cheers!

@ calvinj, Are you there? I have not heard back from you since the last post.

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 .
