Somebody pinged me about an update to the Ayre P-5xe... I received the analog rig about 2-3 months ago. In a word, this is a truly spectacular phono and you can find more details at http://www.martinloganowners.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9365
Today, I had an audio *rgasm with the original Telarc Carmina Burana from the 1980's (Shaw/Atlanta Symphony) - and before you think I am talking about the typical Telarc bass drum whacks, the truly ecstatic experience was with the size and body of the chorus and the impact & intensity of the lifelike, silky cymbals (which caused the amp to shut down at one point due to their very wide dynamic range)! This record continues its legend.
