Highly regarded pre-amp from one of the great American hi-fi designers & company This is Ayre's amazing wonder *entry-level* pre-amp: quiet, open and airy, providing a clean pathway of the source signal to the amplifier while never sacrificing anything musically, in short
the antithesis of stereotypical flat, glassy and sterile characteristic Solid-State sound.Fully balanced, zero-feedback circuitry, which is the best way to utilize this pre-amp (though it does also have single-ended /RCA inputs and outputs). The gold foil "evolution" badge as seen on the face of this unit indicates it is indeed the "xe" version, and it also does have the "MP" Maximum Performance update; this unit has every update/improvement etc. Ayre did to the K-5 pre-amp Feel free to call Ayre and verify as per
the unit Serial#--they provide exemplary
Customer Support and are extremely helpful answering any questions about any of their products. This unit & everything that comes with it are in "Excellent"/flawless condition; conservatively rated "8" for age only. Original remote, box, power cord and packing materials as shown. Note, the original warranty material is included but not the original manual (which really isn't needed to operate the pre-amp); this can be downloaded from Ayre's website. Asking price includes PayPal & continental U.S. shipping. Discount for local cash pick-up. Please check my feedback and buy with 100% confidence.
