  Valin wrote some completely illogical nonsense about how the sound in the TAD room sounded glorious with master tapes (or something like that), but only mediocre with his CD's.
  
  Then instead of maybe doing something logical like, oh, blaming the CD player, he blamed the amps (the only Ayre component in that system).
  
  So you tell me -- how can the amps sound glorious with one source, but "arid" with another source? Or was Valin just out to take a jab at Ayre?

    The cable episode was enough for me to dismiss anything he says.

      the Parasound Halo A21 until Valin's strong recommendation came along. I have since auditioned it and think its a fine amp but I can't talk myself into buying something he recommends. Heck, I stopped reading TAS once I realized what the guy is all about.
