Looping back - in case anyone is wondering about this combo. It's amazing. There have been no issues mating the Ayre K5xeMP to the McIntosh MC-252...it's a beautiful combination in my system. This is a very quiet, very musical pre-amplifier. With good recordings, there is excellent separation of instruments, great imaging, all that great stuff.
I was using a DeHavilland Ultraverve 3 prior to this, but wanted something hassle free that could stay on all day, as I also watch TV through this system, and tubes are too fragile for 24/7 day to day operations. Highly recommend this combo.
