I love working for...
There's an old rock song I'm struggling to remember. I believe it has the lyric in it "I love working for..." and then like a 3 letter acronym music label. It's NOT Lynyrd Skynyrd "Workin' For MCA". It just escapes me at the moment and maybe someone knows...- theCanadian

I have a pair of JVC RX700's I've owned for 4 years that I sleep in every night. Aside from some pad wear, they're in like new condition. This is the kind of durability I'm looking for.

AudioTechnica PEQ3 vs Esoteric Sounds Rek-O-Kut MKII vs TCC TC-750LC
So, the PEQ3 is giving me a it of trouble in that it's output is below line level at only 150mV. I'm looking at a replacement, and the TCC TC-750LC and the Esoteric Sounds Rek-O-Kut MKII both look like good choices with twice the output voltage and a slightly better signal/noise. ...- theCanadian

My new XONAR D1 is sex (Xonar D1 vs. Audigy 4)
Ok, so I used to have a Creative SoundBlaster Audigy 4, which was okay at best. It was very bright. Sharply so. This combined with AD700's guaranteed that snare drums and such would absolutely destroy my ears. Like popping an innocent soap bubble with a bullet. And the bass was pretty boomy as...- theCanadian
