About the PX-8

The Ayre Acoustics PX-8 is a revolutionary phono preamplifier featuring fully-balanced discrete zero-feedback circuitry from input to output, Ayre’s Diamond Output Stage, ultra-low noise discrete JFET input stage, and two-stage passive RIAA equalization. It supports two analog inputs (1 balanced, 1 single-ended) with independent gain and electronically adjustable loading via front panel, accommodating a wide range of cartridges from low-output MC to MM. Optional third input for DS Audio photo-optical cartridges and optional analog-to-digital output (USB, Coax/SPDIF, TOSLINK) for digitizing vinyl. Designed for tonearm and cartridge connoisseurs, it eliminates dip switches or jumpers for easy setup. Additional features include AyreLink communication, high-speed circuit board, and multi-stage regulated linear analog power supply.
