Ayre KX-R

Does anyone have this preamp? I cant believe the cost compared to other pre-amps!!! I know Wes Phillips gushed all over this one but is it worth it?

Ayre has a good warrnty an upgrade policy that will not break you. It is the best my system has ever sounded. But you need to close your eyes and make up your own mind.

Before the Ayre I owned the ARC ref 3 and before that the Levinson 320S . The Ayre is twice the money , but it' s twice the pre amp . I' ve found the best match for it is Levinson amp' s .
