re. Ayre: typical response from Ayre re. the cost for upgrades. I have found their service to be nothing short of exemplary. However the cost they charge for upgrades says something about their company and is someting I wish more companies would adopt. Other hi-end companies (Pass, CJ, etc.) provide excellent service but Ayre seems to go one step further in terms of doing everything possible to keep the costs of upgrades to minimum (and no, I am not a dealer).
Ayre's new Minimum Phase filter
Has anyone heard Ayre's new CD players or its new DAC with the Minimum Phase filter or has anyone returned his or her C-5xe for upgrade with the new MP filter? If so, what do you think of the sound?
