Ayre V3 Owners


Hello, I recently aquired an Ayre V3 amplifier as a gift from a friend that went to tubes. It appears to be an original version with no upgrades. Can anyone tell me what the upgrades are and are they worth the effort. The Ayre uses chokes just like my Musical Fidelity hence my interest.

great amp had it long time ago and just purchased one in great condition no buzzing from chokes, it looks like amp was never played
it is a great amp
and the newer stuff, where they learned more are even better....

what I would find cringeworthy would be a company that said we knew everything......

and for grins, why not sub it in for the MF, power isn’t everything... ( and I am a MF fan , try an AMS-100 for grins)
almost all V3s should be recapped and readjusted for optimum sound quality, they run hot and bias and offset can drift and caps can dry, I did mine including small caps it sounds lovely nothing can match it at this point

Hello 

I would like to get my ayre recaped. 

What is the best capacitors brand did you use.

Thanks
