Upgraded from Ayre K5xemp to Ayre KX-5 Twenty short review

[will]

Thanks, Greg. I am very used to the metal remote. It also happens to be able to control my Arcam SSP and, of course, the C-5 player. So it works for me ergonomically and functionally. I'll try the QX-5 remote eventually but don't feel compelled to unwrap it.

One thing I'm confused about is page 12 of the KX-5 manual. It references a "1/0" remote button that puts the preamp in sleep mode. There's no such button on the metal remote. I'm assuming the button is there on the QX-5 remote. Then on page 15 is a drawing of the metal remote.

I'm a writer by profession and have written instruction manuals before, so my reaction is what gives? They need to update their manual.

I'll give my thoughts on the sound as I move along, Greg.
