Ayre PX-8

The Ayre PX-8 features two separate analog inputs with a balanced and unbalanced connection, and independent gain and load setting changes that can be adjusted from the front panel. Having no need for dip switches or internal jumpers, the PX-8 Phono Preamp will quickly become a favorite among tone arm and cartridge connoisseurs. A third and optional input can also be equipped for each channel on the PX-8, which supports the DS Audio brand of optical cartridges. This unique technology, when paired with Ayre's fully balanced, discrete, zero-feedback design language, will unlock details in your recordings, and reduce noise to levels yet experienced before with your record collection. Another state of the art option to the PX-8 that has been years in the making, is a premium analog to digital conversion output circuit. This optional board is outfitted with USB, COAX/SPDIF, and TOSLINK optical output, which allows users to digitize and archive their vinyl collection. This also makes the PX-8 the first all in one solution to digitize the new DS Audio Optical Cartridge playback, when equipped with both available options.
