So, you look at the layout and you see sonic failings? What, the AC cable is kinda close to one input cable? How much sonic degradation will that do? Can you quantify it? Did you move the input cable an inch or so farther away and then heard nirvana? This is all the ASR people have is measurements.....and cables that are theoretically not perfectly tied up. No listening......just bad mouthing.
The only thing that really matters is how something sounds. What matters to many is being right........and making things wrong. A much higher vibe is to make things right.....to praise....to uplift....to care.....to be truly helpful....to what people really want. What do you want? To be happy? or be right?
