Conceivably the most innovative preamplifier ever designed, the Ayre K-1xe combines singular
transparency with unparalleled musicality. Musical passages emerge with startling dynamics
from a silent background, thanks to the K-1xe’s 
fully-balanced, zero-feedback FET
circuitry. Its unique volume control uses solid-silver contacts in a revolutionary
configuration that eliminates all wiring and takes sonic performance to a new level. The
Ayre K-1xe uncovers the soul of music.
