Ayre K-1xe upgraded to e status in 2016. I put a brand new factory black faceplate, nametags, knobs plus a new top on it (April 2022) because it had a silver faceplate and I prefer black. I then had an expensive tune-up done at Ayre, which included zeroing out DC. I also had the RCA jacks for the output replaced (which I use for the sub) then it was put on their brand new $100,000 Audio Precision test equipment. I also had Ayre rework the remote, as the previous owner let the batteries corrode the battery tray. They cleaned up the area around the battery tray nicely and soldered in a new battery tray, which has Lithium batteries installed now. There is a full set of name tags and you can change them as needed. There are also 7 extra sets of resistors for the phono stage, which is currently loaded with 300 ohms and the gain is 75 ohms. It comes with a nice manual reprinted on heavy stock bound with plastic covers. I received this back from Ayre recently and put it in the system and have to say there is an improvement since the repair work. In particular, there is a little more depth to the soundstage. Its not a dramatic change but enough that I noticed. Audio memory being very short at least I dont think it was this amazing before. It seems to me all those attributes one looks for in quality gear is present with the Ayre. Without getting caught up using audiophile superlatives, there are quite a few reviews out there extolling the virtues of this piece. For those who are not aware, Ayre provides a full upgrade path within a series, unlike some audio companies that offer a one time model. This unit has all the upgrades available and Ayre supports all their equipment. Ive had a lot of preamps in my system and this is the only one that adds or subtracts nothing IMO. You will truly hear everything else that makes up your system.

Selling my Ayre K1xe preamplifier with phono stage and remote. This is an outstanding preamplifier which I used in my demo room to showcase my Grand Aspen Speakers. The phono stage comes with a pack of resistors so you can adjust the gain to match your cartridge. I currently have the phono stage set for my Dynavector XV I moving coil cartridge. I would have rated this an 8 out of 10 but there are some scuff marks on the external power supply which you can see in the photos so that is why the rating is a 7. The amplifier will be safely packed in a foam lined audio box and the external power supply will be packed with the remote and power cord in a separate box. Buyer pays shipping for the main preamplifier box and I will pick up the shipping cost for the second power supply box.Thanks for looking.

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!
