Ayre V3 Owners


Hello, I recently aquired an Ayre V3 amplifier as a gift from a friend that went to tubes. It appears to be an original version with no upgrades. Can anyone tell me what the upgrades are and are they worth the effort. The Ayre uses chokes just like my Musical Fidelity hence my interest.

Cringeworthy? I like the honesty in that statement.
  
I recall hearing the V3 driving a pair of Avalon Acoustics Eidolons in the main room at the later dB Audio on Shattuck Avenue, Berkeley and commented to myself just how luscious that system sounded.

Give Ayre a call with the serial number. You can trust their suggestions. Personally, I'd have it gone through. If anything else it makes for a terrific compact back up unit or a loaner. I would not sell it.
