My last pre-amp, Rowland Capri or Ayre K5xe ?

I use an OPPO Blu Ray BDP83 SE player as my source, Vandersteen 3's, amps are Reference 9 Monos, all cabling by Transparent. Any thoughts/opinions are welcomed. Biased opinions show passion and are also welcomed. I am replacing an older Pass Labs X-2.5. Thank you!

I wonder why the Mac C500T doesn't often get mentioned as being a world class pre? Fantastic unit.

Cirrus, did you get to a conclusion between the Capri and the Ayre K-5xeMP? I`m with the same doubt right now and your help would be very important for me. Thank you in advance. Antonio

Fo me, the Ayre was a huge disappointment. I'm mystified by the good reviews it gets.
