Raysonic gone belly up, is this a hoax? Read on...

Just to be clear, I wasn't defending the company up above in praising my Ray 128. Whatever happened, the employees obviously built some great products and should take pride in that. Curiously, the innards and outsides of my Raysonic look almost exactly like an Ayon CD player (6moons remarked on the strong similarity and suggested they were from the same factory). Hardly the same list price, though, and I'm pretty sure the Raysonic came first.

My Raysonic SP 120 MKII has worked flawlessly since purchase at the beginning of this year. It does not in any way look like it was made by irate, low-skilled workers using low quality materials, in fact, it is very substantially built, and was better in terms of overall musical presentation in a head to head comparison with a Jolida, and a Primaluna Prologue Three/Four combination. Its finish is also better than that on the Primaluna's - the paint job on the Raysonic's trannies is amazing.

I feel bad for the raysonic employees!, however, The Ayon equipment chasiss use to be made by raysonic a few years back, then the owner of ayon mr gerhart pulled the plug on the bussiness deal, rasonic was making there componets to look like the ayons!, Ayon now has there own facility in china, called ayon!, they only make the chassis there for the company,but they also make these entire units inside and out there, the ayon cd-7, cd-7s,cd-1,cd-1sc,,,,The ayon cd-2s, and 3s,,and cd-5s have the chassis shipped from china and everything else is done in Austria!,The quality of their top gear has alot less problems, if eany at all!, I have the Ayon cd-2s player, It plainly says on the player, made in austria!, I bought this unit because of this reason!, I did not want to go the chinese route!, I heard to many horror storys about quality issues of reliabilty!,, cheers!

Well, the only nation cited anywhere on the exterior of my Raysonic 128 is Canada, so I wouldn't make too much of that. And per the photos on the 6moons site, the interior construction was seemingly identical to that of an Ayon model that came later, or at least was reviewed later by 6moons. Whatever. I've never heard a CD player I'd rather have than the Ray 128 and just bought a replacement laser assembly (Sony), so maybe it's good for a while longer. Too bad about the company and especially its employees.

I have owned a Raysonic 128 cd player and still own a SE 30A Single-Ended tube integrated(The sound quality is like a junior version of the Audio Note Ongaku)stunning!
In my research Raysonic no longer exists for production or repair.I did hear a rumor about a year ago that Raysonic in Canada is starting back up, I don't believe it, hasn't happened. The original SE 30A int. unit is exceptional,
to bad what happened to them.
