I have a Stax SRM-006t driving a pair of SR-404 Sigs and was wondering if the Woo Audio GES is considered a significant upgrade to the Stax amp?

I've recently purchased my first Stax system; (404 / SRM-006t) and absolutely love it (thanks, gilency). I was wondering, however, if there are any mods to the amplifier (aside from tube rolling) that can squeeze out a little more performance?

I'm doing a re-cable on my ath-es7 and need help identifying the r/l positive connection points on my switchcraft 3.5mm plug. On the picture below I have labeled where I think they are... but the R+ is such a teeny-weeny little ring I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. Any...

I've read a number of threads suggesting to amp the k340 via speaker outs. Any thoughts on how something like the Trends TA-10.1 might perform, particularly, against my Darkvoice 332?

I want to build a PC for music only... something small and simple. All my files are FLAC. I was wondering if the Shuttle K45 with 2gb of ram and a E7200 cpu would suffice (+ suitably sized HDD). Output would be via a s/pdif coaxial PCI card to my Monarchy NM24 DAC and then out from there All...

I'm in the market for a stand alone DAC and came across a mint condition Monarchy 22C for <$450.00. Is this DAC still competitive in today's market, or should I look for something new in the <$1,200.00 range? BTW, the DAC is going to be used with a Squeezebox v3.

I am interested in purchasing an AKG K240 Sextett and came across this pair, shown below. It appears to have the six drivers (image 1), yet has gold trim (image 2). Can anyone confirm one way or another whether this is in fact a sextett (and which version it may be)?

I have a Darkvoice 336i and am considering upgrading to a 332. Given my rig (see signature), am I going to readily notice the upgrade... or is it something I will have to listen very hard to (insert scrunched up face here), to appreciate the difference?

I'm about to try my first recable DIY on my Denon AH-D2000. And accordingly, I have the first of what is sure to be many embarrassing (noob) questions. My first question is: what wires (starquad) are attached to which pins from the picture below?
