Musical purity is the motivation for the Ayre V-3 amplifier.
The V-3's fully-balanced, complementary-symmetry design utilizes FETs throughout,
zero-feedback, and a power supply that provides ultra-clean power as a foundation for
accurate performance.
Circuitry
The signal path is fully balanced from input to output and uses FETs
exclusively
The audio circuitry must be capable of amplifying the musical signal without
alteration. To this end, the Ayre V-3 circuit is a complementary design using no negative
feedback. The circuit's elegant topology comprises a cascoded differential input stage
followed by a source-follower output stage. This straightforward approach results in
remarkable immediacy and musical purity.
The output stage incorporates ultra-linear high-power devices, enabling the V-3 to
effortlessly drive the most demanding loudspeakers to real-life playback levels. Subtle
musical nuances are delivered with complete fidelity.
Power Supply
Separate power supplies are provided for the input-stage and output-stage
audio circuits
Since the power that drives your loudspeakers comes from the amplifier's power supply,
a clean source of power is required to deliver a pure music signal. The Ayre V-3 uses
two-stage, inductor-input filtering which is twice as effective as conventional designs.
In addition, fully-balanced circuitry provides further immunity from power-supply
fluctuations. The result is astonishing musical purity.Our exclusive Ayre Conditioner assures the cleanest possible power from your
AC line.
Features
Ayre offers world-class performance, bringing your favorite music to life
The Ayre V-3 offers both balanced and unbalanced inputs for integration into any music
