Ayre KX-R or PS Audio BHK Pre

No its not the KXR Twenty. Could have it upgraded but the upgrade alone costs as much as the BHK.

Thanks for the input guys. I feel an update is needed from my side. 
I am not based in the US. The Ayre unit is with my dealer and the PS Audio unit would have to be imported. So having an in house demo is not possible. Our mkt is really small and the dealer does not have any "demo" units. The particular Ayre unit I am looking at is basically brand new, just opened to see everything works. It carries a full factory warranty. 
The only way for our small Audio community to buy stuff is based on reviews and input from fellow enthusiast like you. From what I am able to understand is that while the PS Audio unit is excellent and would compete well with any pre twice its price, the Ayre is on another level. I am thinking if I get the price I want I will step into the Ayre and hope for the best. 

Perazzi28 very limited selection available in my country. That's the price we pay for living in a third world country. In the 1000 to 2000 dollar range we have a lot of stuff. Macintosh has a local dealer as well as Wilson and B&W. The reason I am keen on the Ayer is because it's supposed to be a flagship product from a well respected brand. The dealer has guaranteed to have it upgraded when I am ready at a decent enough cost. Also the price that he is offering on the Ayer is too good to pass up. While I can't reveal the price let's just say it's not that far off from the PS Audio. I have purchased the Ayer and it has arrived and playing in my system as we speak. I can't comment on the sound yet as it's running in I can comment on the build quality. This thing weighs almost the same the Classe Monos. I will keep you guys updated on my take on the sound by next week once it has a few hours on it. 
While I could purchase any preamp while I travel, I don't want to buy anything that does not have local support.
