PS Audio or Ayre?


So I'm thinking about getting the BHK signature preamp or, I just read a review on the AyreK5xe preamp. They both seem like great pieces. Anyone have a preference?

Big ayre fan , had the whole 5 series set up for years. Thought it couldn’t get better, then went ps audio Bhk , a whole different level , by a large margin. Better on every aspect of the things you want from aa system. 
I agree with Beetlemania.  Not a single complaint with the units or the serice department....always got through with a phone call.

Auible Illusions or PS Audio BHK preamp?

I currently run an Audible Illusions L3A linestage and Bryston BHA1 headamp with PS AUDIO BHK 300s.  

Have an opportunity to pick up the PS Audio BHK pre at half price.  Any experience with AI and/or BHK?  BTW am running Siemens E88CCs in Audible Illusions for months.  Much freer upper end. Removes any trace of grain or hardness.  I've been assured by the dealer  the tubes well last despite AI's being tough on tubes.  

Sorry to half hi-jack thread but no experience with Ayre. 

Current system -
PSA BHK 300 monos
Audible Illusions L3A linestage
Harbeth 30.2
Dual HSU ULS-15 MK2 subs
Bryston BHA1 headphone amp
Sennheiser HD 800s

Both good companies
long long ago sold PS when it really was Paul and Stan
disapointed they don’t support older pre bankruptcy product with simple things like schematics, etc for power amps, power supplies
i get it they lawyered up
ayre is certainly evolving
if you like etched hyper detail or need single ended look elsewhere
horse $&@“ about engineered to be louder
certainly not true at a 7 amp power amp selection I went thru
i would say make every attempt to hear both !!!!!!
