Best interconnects for AYRE gear ?


Looking for the "perfect" match for my Ayre pre-/ power combo. Currently use unbalanced Acoustic Zen Silver Ref. II interconnects which I will replace quite soon with a balanced design - but which ? Any suggestions in the range US $ 1.500,00 - 2.000,00 (for a stereo meter) ??

Hi Frankpiet,

I would recommend Purist Audio Design. I am using Venustas, and they are the best interconnects that I have tried.

Good luck,

Mark
I am using Cardas Golden Reference on my C5xe and I beleive that Ayre does use a lot of Cardas on internal wiring. I know they offer the Myrtle Blocks same as Cardas only with the Ayre logo. There seems to be a connection there between the two companies. What ever it is, it is a good combo.
Ayre voices all of their components with Cardas cables. That doesn't mean you might not like something else better.
Thanks so far. I found the TaraLabs ISM 0,8 onboard far superior than Cardas GR. Would like to know any opinion on Nordost TYR, Jena Labs and Shunyata Altair..
I have owned and tried many diferent cables over the years. The best I have heard are the Jena labs. I replaced the Acoustic Zen Silver II with the mid line Jena Symphonies ($1,100 per meter). The Acoustic Zen are great cables, but the Jena symphonies are more tonally natural with a more open soundstage, better sense of space, bit better focus, depth and greater purity. To top that off, they are also very transparent as well. I also use the Valkyres for speaker cables and love them.
The Jenas have been superb in various systems but I do not know how they work with Ayre.
