I tend to agree, but alas I don't make those decisions and will pass along your thoughts to the HQ for sure.
The only problem I see is there is such a split between those that listen/measure/try new things, and those that say "I don't need that, things like this are not reality". Then there is the thought process that goes into products like that always ends up costing more money somehow than say the separate route.
And then they get considered to be a "Top Tier Solution" whereas going the separate route allows folks to try different things to see if they "hear" an improvement in their system.
The LAN iSilencer is an example of this, and also the Opti-box that now comes with the NEO Stream. I can easily see these products being incorporated into more products, and in the case of the Opti-box, that being made into a standalone unit as well.
I do understand what you mean, my desk is quite the mess myself, lol
Cheers!!
