Ayon is establishing a new performance standard for "vacuum-tube output stage" CD-Players.
Sunday 22 July 2007
By John Jeffries
Vacuum-tube CD from Ayon
Introduction
Our CD-Players offer a unique union of innovative design concepts and refinements of existing technologies.
Every Ayon CD-Player delivers the emotional power of music with a visceral impact, convincingly deep bass and a warm and fluid mid-range. Their high frequencies portrayal is never harsh or strident, and possesses natural grace - a glistening life-like presentation. Image projection is exceptionally three dimensional with the most subtle spatial energy revealed with precision.
Our CD-Players have received praise from the very moment of their market introduction and will, in the best Ayon tradition, provide a lifetime of consistent excellence.
