Cardas GR give very good results with Ayre

"在非常寬鬆的空間裡...." 指的不是音場，是描述機箱的"內涵"。

即系話﹕用料嚇死人

Try NBS omega Ver. !!

According to Charles Hansen, Ayre's debut power amp Ayre V3 is a very resourceful machine with 1 huge transformer and 4 chokes. Later models all of the audio chokes were removed due to the budget constraints.

用足料並不代表好聲，HiFi售價中用料成本祗佔極低比例，最重要是R&D and Design. 若能以嚇死人的用料做出好聲，就是Charles Hansen的成央C

Besati nono la..

I am using AN-VX from CDP to pre-amp and Matisse Reference Gold RCA from pre-amp to power-amp. Would it be better to change the Matisse Ref Gold to some other XLR cable. Do you have any suggestion for me. Please.

Yutaka,

Heard that V3 before. Sounds like tube. The slow pace and overly warm sound is not my cup of tea. I like open, fast and dynamic sound.

That's why I'm not using Cardas GR.

我同你一樣,仲意新Ayre聲多d.

K3X+V5

小弟哥,
Did you join the WW camp? I find the IC gives very good dynamic, substantial body, bouncy bass and extended high when placed between amps.

besati哥

WW camp..???

個位Ayre用家好﹕

本人未曾有過機會試聽Ayre power amp任何一款﹐所以完全對Ayre power amp的聲低有任何意見﹐但好奇心想問聲﹐聽說Ayre聲低(新款)有“九成”好似Goldmund聲低﹐但價錢卻不用goldmund那麼貴﹐甚至有人因為覺得goldmund太貴而用Ayre﹐不知是否如此﹖

Ayre power amp V3和V5的“二手價”現時要多少﹖

Thank。

numo,
I think in terms of speed, Ayre is way behind Goldmund. That means you'll hear less harmonics and shorter harmonic decay time from Ayre, when you listen to strings, acoustic guitar and piano. The bass control is however better, particularly with K1x. In terms of clarity and smoothness, Ayre is in top tier.

Thank besati:

剛剛翻看一些stereo sound 的書才明白到原來"V"系代表power amp的型號﹐而"k"則代表pre-amp﹐因為看回你們先前所講的又"v"又"k"﹐都吾知系乜。

但系besati兄是否知道 Ayre power amp V3和V5的“二手價”現時要多少﹖

雖然試聽完才可以作准﹐但論製造的話﹐本人好同意YUTAKA的講法:"V3 好重料 ...五隻牛 !!"。

“力水”(控制低頻所須要的東西)應該會好過今期stereo sound 介紹的"V5x"﹐裡面的製造真的有小小嚇死人﹐吾怪得日本仔都話﹕"在非常寬鬆的空間裡..."﹐但肯定聲低會V5"通透"過V3很多。
