Best Sockets on Custom IEM's?
Which manufacturer has the best socket system for custom IEM's? It seems that most of them mount at the edge and the pins act as a fulcrum point and would get bent or easily separate from the shell. For a niche product, I feel that a little more development should be made in the...- M3NTAL

Memory Stick (USB Thumb Drives) Help me choose one
I am looking in the 16GB or 32GB size, I'd rather not have something that I can loose the cap on, but it isn't a deal breaker. My main goal would be to find something relatively quick. I have USB 3.0 on one system, so that is an option also. Thanks.- M3NTAL

iPod Touch Case (easier to hold)
Are there any cases that make it a little easier to hold in the hand while still being super easy to get in and out of the pocket? I'm currently using a griffin case that I like aesthetically, but it just makes me feel like I need to be spiderman to hold on to it right. Thanks.- M3NTAL

What tubes are in YOUR Single Power right now?
Supra XLR - (2x) Tung-Sol 2C51 up front and (4x) GE 6BL7GTA Slight bit of noise floor, but at listening level unnoticeable. I would say this combo give you lots of dynamics with detail to match.
