Ayon Audio Auris Tube Pre-amp

I am selling my Auris II after 3 years and probably 500 hours of listening.  The unit sounds amazing, but I made some major upgrades to my system and am upgrading to a two chassis pre-amp at a very different price point.  This preamp delivers the rich, textured, natural sound that Ayon is known for and really surprised me with what it delivered on the low end when I first purchased it.  Soundstaging is outstanding and the unit looks very sharp in the rack. At this price point, I think it's hard to find anything comparable.  Unit has never needed any repair...tubes are original and the unit has never been shipped since the original delivery.  I have all original packing materials, box, manual, etc.

This unit was purchased new from USA Tube Audio almost exactly 3 years ago, and you can find a lot of information about the awards this preamp has won on their website.  Below is a brief description from the Company:

After the success of the "smaller" Ayon preamplifiers many customers approached us wishing a modular and upgradeable concept. The new Auris is such a modular tube pre-amp design and is offered fully balanced, signature version with Phono MC/MM, available as an option.

This “Reference” preamp represents the highest standard of preamp based on 6H30 design achievement and offers a holographic soundstage previously unavailable at this price class. The performance of the Auris is outstanding, transparent and vivid in its presentation. There is a huge space of the recording environment reproduced with uncanny realism. The purist 6H30 circuit topology is using zero dB negative feedback, no buffers and no followers or op amps are used anywhere in the signal path. Excellence in engineering, a special tube rectified power supply and super premium components selection provides a special magic to the reproduction of music.
