Selling my beloved Ayre P-5xe Phono (here) and K-5xe MP Preamp (listed separately) to shrink down the footprint of my hi-fi. The P-5xe is one of the rare phono preamps with balanced ins and outs, and can be custom loaded depending on the needs of your cartridge. It has excellent measured performance as well and sounds great. Very very solid construction as well. Of course looks very beatiful next to the P-5xe. This example is in excellent condition, with only a minor scratch on the front fascia (which is all but invisible during normal use; I forgot it was there after a day). Here are some reviews: Analog Corner #119 London Cartridge (photo: Michael Fremer) Heres more proof that sound qualityor its factual representationis no longer on the radar screen of the mainstream press. I recently sent this letter to the Wall Street Journals corrections editor: www.analogplanet.com SoundStage! Vinyl Word - Ayre Acoustics P-5xe Phono Stage (6/2005) Ships in original box (with very clever suspension) along with user manual.
