Don't forget QKTune which is targetting mainly on the pre-echo handling 
done for q 2, 3, 4, and 5 
(http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/show.php/showtopic/17950).
At least among the Hydrogenaudio users this appears to become an 
acceptable tuning if it comes to audio quality as well.
Attempts to combine aoTuV and QKTune are being done as we speak 
(http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/show.php/showtopic/21183).
