Ayre's new Minimum Phase filter

Just got my C-5xe back from Ayre with the MP upgrade installed. I ran it in for 24 hours, then had a listen.

The improvement in low level resolution and imaging was immediate and dramatic. Ditto for tonal textures. Separate musical instrumental lines were more clearly delineated and followed. Overall, presentation was more relaxed and the music seemed to flow more like the real thing.

I got my upgraded C-5xe back about two weeks ago and agree with the comments above. Cipherjuris nailed it regarding the improvements, especially regarding imaging and delineation of distinct instrumental lines. I really had no great expectations but was pleasantly surprised by the level of improvement. Recommendation to C-5xe owners: get in line, you will not be disappointed.

Hello, got my CX-7E back with the MP upgrade, cost was $250. plus dealer shipping to Ayre, plus sales tax. This is a no brainer, a very substanial improvement.
