Ayre P-5XE Phonostage – Silver

Arguably one of the very best phono stages ever built. This example of the P-5xe is in the silver finish and excellent physical condition. Full working order, factory packed and three months warranty.

A fully balanced dual-mono phono stage. “There are two sets of impedance DIP switches on the back panel, one for each channel. These provide the most common choices of impedance — 100, 1000 and 47,000 ohms — but an infinite combination of settings is available by soldering resistors to the type of connector (RCA or XLR) that is not being used and plugging these connectors into the P-5xe.” “Gain is selectable via internal switches, with the choices being 50, 60 or 70dB for the balanced outputs, and 6dB less for the single-ended.”
