Has anyone tried the ayon Orion with zu?

Also I really need to stay below $2000 used so the mastersound and others are out of my range. So I should say I am looking for the best match with my speakers for un 2k. I'm sure I will never be able to afford the really expensive offerings from mastersound and shindo or atmosphere for that matter.

Plenty of excellent choices in that price range. Your making a good move in trying something new. Thats the whole spirit of this hobby. Good listening and enjoy.

The Melody I2A3 goes very well with Zu......I have bought and sold three of them and honestly still wish I had the last one that I sold. I have tried 10 or so amps and though others have been a little better, none were dramatically better, even at retail prices approaching $10,000. Out of those I tried, I recommend Art Audio PX-25, Coincident Frankenstein 300, Shuguang 300 Integrated from Grant Fidelity (within your budget), and my current favorite, Decware mini Torii or Tori. I am certain that any of those would be great, as a matter of fact I just bid on the Zu Presence pair on EBay and immediately ordered the Tori to mate with it but I lost the bidding. Good luck and keep in touch with what works.

I would like to try a melody, but there hard to find
