little trick with Canare Starquad & techflex
I was finding the starquad a little bulky for headphone cable. So I cut out the plastic layer of the cable.

E-mu 1820 question
I tried to look at the spec on the homepage, but the descriptions are too technical for me.

Von Schweikert VR-1 first impression: WOW!
These VR-1 are really an impulse buy, but boy did I make a great decision! I think I've found THE bookshelf speakers. Comment on the build quality: The African hazelwood finish looks far more attractive than it's being shown in Von Scheweikert's homepage. There's a glossy touch to it. If...- Unclewai

I purchased a guitar processor effect/pre-amp (Behringer V-amp pro), I hooked the 1/4" output to 0404 input. The sound coming out is very clean and loud.

B&W DM602 s3 owners, worth upgrading from dm601 s3?
Hi, saw an used ad from Audiogon for the DM602 S3. I will be paying ~$120 to go from dm601 s3 to dm602 s3 after I sell the dm601. Will the difference be worth it? I really like the sound of the dm601, but my shiva 12" sub is kind of overpowering the speakers. I am hoping the larger woofers in...- Unclewai
