In Reply to: Ayre CX-7e CD player - first impressions. posted by kurt s on February 8, 2007 at 08:15:59:
First, thank you for the review. It's hard to verbalize this stuff.Second, I have all this vinyl in my collection, but the AX-7 playback is so good that they are not getting much use except for the historic recordings that didn't make it into CD conversion.
You already know all the arguments for balanced operation, so no need to discuss that more. I'm a firm believer in it, and use the best cables I can afford.
I previously had a Sony ES player (forget the name of it, non-SACD type) that was highly favored by me and the press. Built like a truck. Top level unit. This Ayre unit is not cheap, but it is clearly excellent. The Sony unit of course, preceeded the Ayre by a lot of years.
