"Lightning strikes twice," says the blurb on Ayre Acoustics' new KX-R preamp, referring to the 1996 introduction of the Colorado company's original K-1 preamp, considered to be among the best preamps. The KX-R ($18,500 in aluminum finish) retains the zero-feedback, fully-balanced configuration of the K-1, but has a Variable Gain Transimpedance (VGT) circuit, with something called "equilock circuitry" for the gain devices. This was explained to me as a circuit design that does not attenuate the inputs at the front end, and thus improves the S/N ratio. The KX-R is a slim but heavy unit (41 lbs), and as you can see, it looks stunning.

Δείτε και το εσωτερικό και θα καταλάβετε το "carved from solid". :smoking:



Here's a look at the inside of Ayre's KX-R preamp. "Wow!" exclaimed John Atkinson.

Προσωπικά θέλω πολύ να ακούσω μηχανήματα της συγκεκριμένης εταιρείας και ειδικά τους τελικούς. :happy_2:
