    John Grado has agreed to an interview, I invite you to suggest some questions

    Quote: 4] What is the criteria used for matching drivers to 0.05db. Are they matched at one frequency and which one (or more). Is a sampling of a batch measured or is every set "matched"? Follow up questions to this: It would be logical that drivers that don't pass 0.05db matching...

    Is linux really worth it?

    Konqueror basically uses the same HTML engine as Apple Safari, which is said to be fast but not as compilant as the Mozilla engine. I prefer it to firefox because of its responsiveness in KDE and it's very convenient that it works as a file manager as well. Promissing linux alternative to...

    Headphone upgrade with "wow factor"

    It looks like the emu1212m has balanced output only... Also it's clearly an overkill for a playback device, I'd be paying for top of the line a/d converters and input facilities good enough for music production... only to be left unused. For playback, the Revolution is more that enough for me.

    Headphone upgrade with "wow factor"

    The Behringer is a bit out of my leauge; I have no knowledge of microphone measurements and frequency tuning/calibration. And it's too expensive... I'm using the standard doughnut pads.
