i am not sure why today's audiophiles don't visit hifi shops anymore, even for the casual chat with the dealer or the rare opportunities to listen to some stunning products on display. most hifi shops are deserted these days, save for some random visitors on weekends. has hifi been reduced to a closet hobby?

seriously, guys, you should come out from your cocoon and pay a visit to our nice host at hi-way laser. just how often do you get to listen to a high-end system the calibre of ayre acoustics? boasting a stellar line-up comprising of its latest flagship preamp, KX-R (RM73K), matched with its award-winning MX-R monoblock (RM73K) and cabled via MIT oracle MA speaker cables, this is an invitation extended to you readers that is not to be missed. with kenny sin, the boss at hi-way, you don't need to have a fat bank account, to be entitled to this opportunity. every audiophile, like the chinese proverb says, "within the four seas, is treated equal".

for the last two years charles hansen and his design team have been exhaustively working on a matching preamp to accompany the famed MX-R monoblock and the result comes in the form of KX-R preamp - a stunning piece of music machinery that appeals to both the eyes and the heart.

KX-R has the same fully-balanced, zero-feedback design as the world renown K-1xe (1996). cutting edge technology sees the KX-R featuring the world's first transconductance volume control which operates with four silver-to-silver contact switches providing the purest signal path for the variable gain stage. coupled that with ayre's equilock circuitry, you have a preamp with unparalleled clarity and resolution.

for those who have never tasted ayre's house sound. it is a sound that is superbly clean, neutral and slightly on the "yin" side of the tonal balance. it has great dimensionality and exquisite refinement. if you don't listen to the bass (which is as good as any SS gear can get), it actually does not sound very solid-state at all.

driving the ATC SCM-50PSL tower, i blasted the KX-R way pass normal listening level to enjoy the full glory of teddy robin CD. like any ATC, the SCM50 is like a masochistic animal who demanded to be driven hard. listening to teddy robin at such a deafening level is an new aural experience to me!

i am all out of love; i am so lost without you - ayre supply is currently holding its mega concert at hi-way laser, ss2. be there or be square.
