Speakers for Bass Guitar and Monitoring
I'm looking to kill two birds with one stone here; I'm currently picking up bass in a group and want to get some speakers at home. What would you recommend for ~1k or below speakers for this situation? I'd rather prefer not to get a giant bass cabinet because they all seem overpriced for...- MrGreen

Jecklin or Schneider Disc?
This is an odd thread, and I'm not sure I'll get much in the way of help anywhere on the internet, since it is extremely niche. I was wondering if anyone could help me out with the benefits of a Schneider disc over a Jecklin Disc. For those who are not aware, these are acoustic membranes...- MrGreen

Why are high end dynamics/orthos still being created?
I'm not here to dismiss both ortho and dynamic headphones straight out - they're both great alternatives. However, when it comes to the high end: why bother? The elementary standard for all modern, professional microphones is the electrostatic design; sometimes requiring a phantom power...- MrGreen

Strong Recommendation: Echo Audiofire
I'd like to take a moment to HIGHLY recommend the Echo Audiofire range for those who have firewire at their disposal. Here's an RMAA at CD quality, and at 24bit. I've captured higher on 24bit (up to 115DNRA) but this seems to be the average. I'm using an audiofire 12, which uses the same...- MrGreen

Earplugs for high frequencies
I wonder if anyone here is familiar with earplugs that have an uneven isolation response - like foam earplugs - but to a lesser degree. I am looking for high isolation above 2khz or so and as little isolation below it. Alternatively, is there a really cheap active noise cancelling alternative? I...- MrGreen

Highish end for stax?
I'm looking to budget out for a higher end dac (say ~$1-1.5k) over the next few months. I will be working with a Lambda Signature and an SRM-T1 which is currently in the post. Ideally I want a dry, analytical box with a flat response rather than something syrupy. As I understand it, older hi-fi...- MrGreen

What causes hiss?
Easy question for those in the know. What causes hiss? I've got a few things that hiss like woah with my ER4P (its a bit like really loud tinnitus or walking through one of those scanners at shops with your headphones on), and my Sansa Clip doesnt have any audible hiss.- MrGreen
