Ayre P-5xe...


Any thoughts on this phono stage? When they do show up here on the 'gon, they don't remain on the market long. What have you compared it to? And do you run your tonearm balanced?

I agree wih Analogtroll. This is an excellent value used. I use the ballanced in and outs with the bal in using a custom AQ Cheeta rca to xlr cable. The bal in provides up to 70db gain which works well with my .24mv ZYX Uuniverse.

Shane Buettner wrote a review for the Audio Perfectionist a while ago praising the P-5xe (I already had my P-5x). He noted the excellent bass extention and slam. I agree.

Any upgrade quest would likely cost me a lot more.
