Used Pre - Ayre, Pass or Para JC2?


Just wondering what your thoughts were on these three possibilities. One feature I'm pretty sure I'll need is bypass.

I have the Parasound P7 and really like it, but I've also heard the Ayre gear and have been enthralled. Balanced in/outs a must.

Thoughts?

beyachad, I'm assuming you meant to say that you had a K-1x?  (Or was it upgraded to the 'evolution' [K-1xe]?)  I can't find a single instance online where someone has compared the K-1xe to the KX-5 Twenty.  I don't mean to hijack the op's thread, but it would be immensely helpful to hear even brief impressions of how they compare.  I'm looking to purchase a K-1xe with phono stage the next time I see one come up for sale, or a KX-5 Twenty.  Until recently I had the K-3x.
