"All of the first-order sonic attributes—frequency balance, linearity, lack of coloration, etc.—are beyond reproach, which means one needs to focus on such higher-order qualities as the presentation of the soundstage and the accuracy of the imaging, neither of which can be measured. But with Ayre's KX-R Twenty, I had no difficulty reaching a conclusion: While $27,500 is a high price to pay for a line preamplifier, the KX-R Twenty is as good as a preamplifier can get." -John Atkinson, Stereophile
