We wouldn't post if we didn't care Coppy. It's all good and you are right. I used a single ended MIT 360 shotgun from years back if I recall when I first got my Ayre AX7e and it sounded awesome. I then saved and got a pair of Audioquest Niagara balance and it opened a new world (selling the Niagara as I went to the AQ WEL when I got the AX5/20). The WEL cable on the AX5/20 is the best I've ever heard the amp sound. Takes it to near reference heights and I like a lot of what it does better than the stereo ref amp and the KX5 pre (or whatever the nomenclature is). It's a damn great integrated.
