Great advice everyone! Thank you.
I did have to remove the load resistor out of the phono board on Ayre K-1xe, as it was 100 ohms and muffled the sound a lot. According to Ayre, the Ortofon red cartridge was best with no loading. I had to open the Ayre up to do all this.
The gain resistor is 10 ohm, so that means loudest setting, but it's OK, I can manage.
I don't know what re-alignment means, but I will look it up.
The cable I got is RCA on one end and XLR on the other. No adapter used. That's what Ayre's manual recommended.
