Excellent condition and looks like new. This product has been in a smoke-free environment. The KX-5 Twenty has been one of my favorite preamplifiers, but it doesn't get used as often now due to an all-digital direction with my system.
If you're looking for a preamplifier that sounds fantastic and delivers some innovative technology, then the Ayre VGT preamplifiers are a must-listen.
Arguably the most important component in your system, the KX-5 delivers all of the performance and flexibility you have come to expect from an Ayre product.
Following in the legendary footsteps of the KX-R preamplifier, the Ayre KX-5 lives up to the challenge with dynamics powered by our Diamond output stage and finesse achieved by eliminating the traditional attenuating volume control with our 46 position Variable Gain Transimpedance (VGT) amplification circuit. Featuring six programmable inputs and our unique Equilock gain stage, the KX-5 will draw you in with its enchanting musicality and drop your jaw with its endless depth of stage.
