The 2017 Los Angeles Audio Show - The Absolute Sound

Best Sound (cost no object)


USA Tube Audio’s demonstration of the new Lumen White 25 Generation 4 speakers driven by Ayon electronics was spectacularly great, with wall-to-wall soundstaging. 

Close your eyes and you’d never know that you were in a hotel room.

Ayon Audio
Ayon Audio distributor USA Tube Audio presented the world premier of several new Ayon products; I’ll cover just the amplification. The system included the Ayon Spheris III preamplifier ($34,500) or alternately, the S-10 Network Streamer/Preamplifier ($8300). The all-tube components, housed in gorgeous chromed chassis, fed a pair of Ayon Orthos XS Gen 4 mono amps which drove the new Lumenwhite White Light 25 Gen 4 Anniversary speakers in one of the show’s best-sounding rooms.

Most Surprising was the stunning Lumenwhite “White Light Anniversary ($69,000).  

Lumenwhite White Light “Anniversary” 

Do blondes still have more fun? If it’s a wood-veneer finish, Lumenwhite certainly thinks so. It premiered Generation 4 of its famous “White Light” speakers—the White Light Anniversary Reference ($69,000). The Anniversary Reference features the world’s first all-ceramic driver array in a radically advanced “pressure-and-flow-dynamics-optimized cabinet,” with numerous innovative technologies in an all-out assault on the state of the art in reference loudspeaker performance. Sonics were brilliantly fast and open. To my ear Lumenwhite’s latest generation of ceramic transducers was uncolored and possessed terrific dynamic output as well as sensitive micro-gradients. Driving the White Light were all Ayon components including the vacuum-tube CD-35 SACD streamer, S10 vacuum-tube streamer, Spheris tube preamplifier, and Orthos II Gen 4 mono amps.

THERE IS NO BETTER TUBE AUDIO PRODUCT AT ANY PRICE! 

The S-3 is a ground-breaking design and this ultimate combination of modern new design and time proven concepts, will deliver music and superb sound performance that you would expect from an Ayon product with maximum home audio flexibility. The S-3 includes a network player, analog preamplifier and a world class D/A-converter that gives the highest obtainable performance. 

A fast tight bass, warm fluid mids, super smooth highs! If this is not the best Network Media Player you have ever heard - Send It Back!

Features & Design Full-featured Network Music Player/DAC/Preamp Class-A triode vacuum-tube output stage for single-ended & balanced operation Signal Path We believe that the simplest circuits work best together with the shortest signal path. 

That is why our pre-amplifiers to date have used single-ended pure class-A circuitry. The shorter the signal path is, the less possibility of sonic degradation from various sources, including the wire itself. Even on the circuit boards, the copper traces are kept to a very minimum length. The completely redesigned circuit board provides a more straightforward and direct approach to the signal paths. 

Network Player Functionality User interface on QVGA 3.5” TFT display Internet radio (vTuner) UPnP streaming from PC via 100base-T Ethernet Support for 802.11n modules (via separate bcd file) Streaming audio from USB HS (mass storage device) WAV (lpcm) – 24/192 kHz FLAC – 24/192 kHz FLAC – 24/176 kHz supported AIFF Displaying AlbumArt embedded in AIFF files AAC, HE-AAC (up to 24bit 96 kHz) Displaying AlbumArt embedded in AAC files LPCM (up to 24/192 kHz on wired LAN and up to 24/96 kHz on wireless LAN) Gapless playback NetAPI streaming – for iPad, iPhone, Android, Mac and Windows versions.

Separate Display for Network-Player and Volume/ Inputs Power Supply The power supplies have been further refined with new components and enhanced AC line noise filtration. Separate power transformer windings and filters provide total isolation between the input and output stage which makes this a pure power source and it is a critical attribute for a 6H30 output stage. We also use electrolytic capacitors with much larger storage capacity to make up for the loss in filtering when using resistors in lieu of inductors. Dual R-Core / Low noise – insulated power transformers for digital & analog separated Innovative power supply provides a high speed energy delivery on transients Separate and isolated power supplies over each stage of amplification AC power line filter to avoid noise and hash from entering into the unit. 

Dual tube rectification for 6H30 analog output stage Choke with Film caps 10 separate voltage regulators Components The type of parts used therefore must have a synergistic relationship to the circuit they are placed in. It is this relationship of which type of part to use where, that ranks our products apart from the mass. Selected, premium quality passive components used in all applications High speed & high quality audiophile grade coupling capacitors High quality Special tube sockets with gold pins Capacitors ( MKP 2% ) High quality – RCA & XLR jack Gold-plated industrial grade PCB Mechanical Construction 

The high grade aluminum chassis impart a richer, more lustrous tonality with a cleaner back-ground and less hash and grain. All brushed anodized anti-vibration-resonance and non-magnetic chassis’s are fully hand assembled to insure the highest level of craftsmanship.
