Ayre Acoustics P-5xe Phono Preamp

The Ayre P-5xe phono preamplifier uncovers the astounding musicality in your favorite records. Music flows from a pure black background, thanks to ultra-low noise FET circuitry in a zero-feedback configuration. Fully adjustable gain and loading options provide complete compatibility with the widest possible range of cartridges, from low-output exotic moving coils to high-output moving magnet designs. Our proprietary two-stage passive RIAA equalization ensures unparalleled tonal realism. The Ayre P-5xe infuses new life into a classic format. Includes manual, no power cord (requires standard IEC type, easy to find), no original box. Buyer to pay actual packing and shipping costs.
