I think you are misunderstanding what Charlie and I were discussing.
I have 2 sets of Ayre cables on loan, one of which was sent with the
Ayre CX-7 that I reviewed a while back, the other, more recent ones
with...actually I can't remember why and when Ayre sent me another
pair, perhaps it was with the C-5xe that I bought. But Charlie is
obsessive about reviewers using Ayre products with ancillaries that
he feels to be of appropriate quality, and in this case he wants me to
be using the current-spec Ayre cables.
In which case I will return the 2 sets I have on loan and use the
newer cables he is sending me with my Ayre C-5xe and the K-5xe preamp
that I am currently reviewing. When he wishes those cables returned,
I will do so, of course.
I will address your other points in a separate post. Right now, there
is a Bass Ale with my name on it in the fridge and I need not to
disappoint it.
