Preamplifier Ayre Acoustics KX-R Twenty Black

The Ayre KX-R Twenty is a revolutionary reference preamplifier that represents the absolute pinnacle of Ayre's twenty-year journey in audio engineering. Fully redesigned from the ground up to surpass the legendary original KX-R, the Twenty edition pushes performance to the brink of perfection. It features the world’s first Variable Gain Transconductance (VGT) volume control, a volume attenuation method that alters the actual gain of the circuit to maintain an uncompromised signal-to-noise ratio. The debut of the proprietary AyreLock discrete power supply utilizes an innovative regulation topology with more than twice the storage capacitance of its predecessor, unleashing deeply layered and effortless dynamics. Complemented by optimized current mirrors and the iconic Ayre Diamond output stage, the KX-R Twenty delivers a stunning sense of realism, absolute detail resolution, and a holographic soundstage that will captivate you from the very first note.
