Q Cable Impressions Thread
OK boys and gals, let's hear your love of all things Q. Either the search malfunctioned, or there wasn't a Q thread, so I figured let's get one going. I started off with a headphone cable last year, and it's been consistently downhill for me. An interconnect, then another, some speaker...- mwilson

Ants in my Stax: should I worry?
Nobody will blame you for laughing it off, and if this qualifies as the moronic post of the year, so be it. We live in South Florida; when rain is abundant, ants will inevitably find their way inside the house for a brief period. Yes, we have pest control service, and they've already been out...- mwilson

LCD-3 Veiled Mids Production Pattern Detection
Based on the numerous veiled/great mids, soft/normal pads posts, and speculation about different QC based on production batches, I've written a small data gathering application where you can anonymously submit your serial number and presence/absence of said issues.

REVIEW: Wyred 4 Sound DAC-2 as a Headphone Amp
I wasn't sure whether to post this under "Headphone Amps" or "Source Components", but seeing how the DAC-2 is more at home in this forum, I decided to post here. Mods feel free to move as appropriate. This review doesn't take into consideration the actual DAC aspect of the W4S DAC-2; said...- mwilson

Hardly using my iBasso D10 - any concerns about the battery?
I have an iBasso D10 portable amp which only sees the light of day once every few months. Should I be concerned about the battery losing its ability to hold charges, and if so, what's the best way to store it? I remember Li-ion batteries being better stored with 40% of charge. TIA!- mwilson

Woo Audio to complement a Phonitor?
I've been using a Phonitor for quite a while, driving my HD800, and I have to say that I enjoy it very much.
