Hi Ace,
Seems you have a very good set-up. May we know what speakers you are pairing with the cayin Pre/Amps?
Thanks and regards,
JoeyGS
Hi JoeyGs,
First of all congratulations re your audio set-up! I am using the Vandersteen 1C's which I found to have a good synergy with the Cayin (in my listening environment). I found that the 1C's can sound so well when I first used them with a Denon Int. Amp. But with really great amplification and front-end, they just perform beyond expectations. I once read a review that says that in a $10,000 system, the 1C's acquitted themselves very well, although at that price point it's already silly to pair the 1C's with those very expensive electronics (i.e. VAC 70/70 amplifier for one, I think). I also have on hand a pair of Spendor S20's. As with British monitors, the midrange and treble coherence really stands out but they cannot do the dynamics, soundstaging, and timbral accuracy as well as the 1C's. I could have opted for the 2CE's, however, they are beyond my price point and they are would surely need a bigger space to breathe...
Thanks for the inquiry, JoeyGs!
