Beautiful sound and build like a Tank...a real beauty. Very Heavy

Comes with 8ft BL audiophile power cable and Manual.

Summing up in Stereophile Magazine
"As with any piece of hi-fi equipment, the true value of the Ayre lies in 

how its particular set of compromises matches your own sonic priorities. 

I found the V-3 to be a doughty performer with a lot going for it. I found it 

consistently engaging on a musical level, and I never tired of its silence, 

exemplary pacing, and timbral accuracy. Since I now run a fairly long set

 of interconnects between my amp and preamp, I found the Ayre's 

differentially balanced mode a real boon. I also admire Charles Hansen 

for reviving the inductive-choke power supply, a concept that may have 

lost its vogue but not its practicality. I rate the Ayre V-3 a success. A 

rousing one.

There are definitely other amps out there, like the C-J Premier Eleven A, 

that can give the V-3 a run for its money. But I'd bet most of them are

 tubed and many cost more money. A lot of folks don't want to own tubes;

 for them, the V-3 is a must-audition. Heck, I think the V-3 is a must-audition for anybody spending up to five grand. You just might find 

yourself with some extra discretionary income—not that, as an audiophile, you'll keep it for long. It might make a good start on your preamp fund."
