Hmm a lot of foam and helmholz resonators and difractions panels and false iner ceilings and walls that breaks right angles etc, opps did i just build recording studio :) Bu tobe fair there are some solutions thats not to bad, in aestethic fabrics and colors, but the companies delivering this stuff would also have a measuring service so that they know what they are doing not just sticking random panels here and there . I'm no pro so I have an hybrid solution (not as good as it could be) random acoustical panels ;) to get rid of a flutter garage type echo, very carefull sub placement and the room corection bellow 300Hz meridian offers it also works in the time domain so that you can get an even response to that. As to why Ayre only has usb ? Do everyone expect audiphile brands to behave rational , when audiphiles in general are not (you get the products you deserve, expensive and weird)? they might have a very fine dac I've never heard it, but this kind of products (high end audiophile stuff) does exhibit a varying % of strange believes and cargo cult science . Ayre seems to have a very high % real science but anyway, they do not make supernatural claims on their web pages etc, but usb only does fit the weird catagory. Do they also want you to buy their disc spinners for disc and connect by analog means to their analog preamp ? Personally I do want flexible products with a lot of inputs and outputs and other options, I don't want to be "painted into a corner" if you get me. A stable brand with good quality does a lot to entice me to, my next amp will probably be a bryston for that reason. Ayre has been around a while to so they seems to have a steady base of returning customers, maybe i take a peek if i can find a dealer next time i need something they make. -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 and assorted amps SiriuS, Classe' Primare and Dynadio speakers, Contour 4 Contour Center, and Contour 1.3SE for the rear ch.
