Will, that KX-5 Twenty is unreal. It's one of the top preamps under 30K that I've heard. Just very special in so many ways. Not QUITE the R series, but not that far off at all IMHO. A sweet spot buy in their line I feel and that's including their amps. I put the QX5 in the same category.
Also like Audioquest and Cardas best with Ayre gear as to me, they are the most neutral cables on the market and you don't want to change the great sound of the Ayre gear as it's voiced properly to begin with and you don't need to tune them with cables or tweeks. JMHO.
