Where to buy volume knobs?
I am looking for something to put on my Supermacro other than the stock knob that it comes with. Can you give me some online sites that sell volume knobs. I know of mouser and digikey, but didn't really find anything too exciting. Thanks a lot.- ghart999

Where to buy volume knobs?
I saw the previous post about the $500 wooden knob. Got me wondering about where can I actually buy some cool looking knobs. Of course nowhere near $500. I am talking simple $1 - $10 knobs. Are there DIY sites that sell stuff like this? Thanks a lot.- ghart999

What analog output is better from my CD Player?
I use an iPod for my main source but would also like to use my CD/DVD player as well for a little better quality while at home. What would I be better off using for output. The RAC out in the back or the headphone out in the front? I assume either output would be OK but I was not sure. My player...- ghart999

ER-4: Finally got a correct seal. WOW!!!
I have had the ER-4P for a few weeks now with little positive feeling towards them. I was getting ready to send them back to Todd. But I finally realized that I had never got a correct seal.

Which 9V rechargeable now that plainview is gone?
I have heard some talk about iPower and Maha. Would these be solid replacements for the plainview? The iPower is 250mAH and the Maha is 170mAH. Should the higher nunber be the deciding factor? Also which charger should I use? Is it always recommended to use the same brand charger as the battery...- ghart999
