| Benchmark DAC2 seeting into Ayre k5exMP preamp I set the Benchmark output jumpers to 10db which is minus 10db and all is fine now. Sounds very good, I can already hear improvement over the OPPO 105d DAC. Seems like this has solved the issue probably to your point cedargrover. Thank you | |

| Ayre preamp no output Talked to Ayre and they said something must have fried, since im sending in for upgrade may be very minimal extra charge for parts to fix. Cant wait for the 2 upgrades with Maximum Performance upgrade. They say it makes a huge difference | |
| Ayre preamp no output Thanks for the ideas. I tried and all i get now is sputtering/ crackling type sound not very loud thru each input all off Oppo input only. Funny I just talked to Ayre about the MP upgrade now it sure needs to go in. | |

They are very highly acclaimed and neutral sounding, not adding color to the music. I believe Boulder is known for their amps. May be true some companies master amps, others preamps, ... | |

| Preamp under $2,000 used 4hannons, When I said reviewed I simply meant I've read about, read reviews on those and a few others. I'm not looking to throw another $5-10,000 in my system , it sounds very good with the Anthem as preamp, OPPO Bd105 as music player and aforemen... | |
