Hi folks,
i've been doin a little thinking and poisoning as well on cyrus system.
any of you guys experience or own a cyrus? care to share your experience and comparison against other products with cyrus?

i'm just wondering will Cyrus cdp be better with audiolab cdp.
please share your views here.
thanks.

I own cyrus cd 7Q ( that's like between 6Se and the latest 8se)
It's always my dream of owning a Cyrus.
I used to own a Cyrus straight line, which was the cheapest Integrate amp from the company.

Sound quality for the Cyrus cd7Q : well, this came out in 2002 or was it 2003. It's fast, tight and really musical. It does play well with Classical music, but i have lots of rock and jazz cds, so it does it job well for those kind of music.

It can't compare to their latest models. (Cyrus CD Xt SE /8se/6se)
Sometimes, I wish that Cyrus would add a SACD player in there, just to please the customers...

Well, it's certainly a good player to own. great design...small...etc but, I think in the coming years, I might change and own another brand.

Cyrus cost few thou, not SACD and small size, looks moderate.. not overpriced?

i'm quite pleased with my cyrus amp + power supply (PSX-R) hooked to it.
music is really good with a punch and warmish tone. for now i'm just getting the source from my notebook audio out
still thinking on which cyrus cdp to get. was thinking on CD6s then in future hook up a DAC X and make the cd6s work like a transport.
else if tat does not happen, i might consider a cd8x or SE models

the sound that it gives out is nice, punchy and warm and for other players to match a cyrus, its definateley priced 3-4 times a cyrus.

Just checked out from HN...Cyrus 8 vs2 integrated amp..selling at RM4.6k..CD player to match selling at RM5.4k

I think they have 0% installment plan, which make these hifi into very attractive package.

Anyone interested to buy my Cyrus 3 amp + PSX-R? (RM2k below, nego)
i'm planing to push it off as i'm goin to play tubes.
can always PM or sms me at 019-3567323

A good friend of mine used to own a heck lot of Cyrus stuff - CD 7Q, Pre-X, Smart Power mono (2 units) and PSX-R (4 units) connected to a pair of Dynaudio Audience 42. Was cool as hell to see a bunch of "shoe" box sized hi-fi equipment in his a/v rack. It was heaven listening to his setup and how i missed those good times.
