I can highly highly recommend this integrated amp w Vandersteen

Monday, I took delivery on an AYRE AX-5 integrated amp. The presentation and sound is superb especially matched w/ my DX-5 universal spinner. I have only heard this combo w/ AQ cabling. Anxious to try a different brand as a starting point. Strongly considering Transparent Cable, as I am a previous owner of the MM2 Musiclink Super models. Happy Listening!
