  Ayre V-5xe best tube pre-amp to match with?
I own an Ayre V-5xe power amp and strongly consider a very good tube pre - or the matching K-5xe pre amp from Ayre. Any suggestions?

I am currently using an ARC LS-5 (GNSC mod) with excellent results. I would consider limiting your choices to units w true balanced output to optimize performance of the V-5XE.
