Another vote for the Ayre KX-R/twenty. To my ears there is really something special about that pre.
High End SS Preamplifier Ayre, EMM Labs, ML, or Pass
I have Clayton M300's that I'm looking to pair with a SS preamp to drive Von Schweikert VR-5 Anni's. Looking for opinions on Ayre KX-R/Twenty, Pre2, or XP-20/30 or other as potential options (ML). Interested in members opinions on possible options. Looking for that neutral, transparent, accurate tonal harmonic musical reproduction that isn't analytical, dry, lean, or fatiguing.
