Ayre K-5xe MP Preamplifier

Jerry Seigel has posted a review of the Ayre K-5xe MP preamplifier ($3500) at 10 Audio. His conclusions:

“I have high expectations and requirements for any preamplifier to survive listening to for more than a few hours. To paraphrase the expression “time is money”: when listening to music, time is pleasure. I thoroughly dislike wasting either one due to marginal sounding gear. The Ayre K-5xe MP passed this tough benchmark and consistently proved to be an enjoyable and involving component.”
