I'd like to see an equipment bag like the GigaBag that is more friendly to LOD's.

When you make bags the way we do, the list price is at least double what they would expect to pay for a camer bag. Our bags would last 10 times longer because the materials and workmanship is so much better, but people just don't compute a bag in their head that way. Consequently, we force ourselve to not make our normal margin on the bags, and end up not being to happy about bag developing. |

I can appreciate that the bag is nicely planned, but actually I don't think that it's a particularly "real world" solution to the problem; it only seems to work well if you do things in a particular way. Personally, I don't think that I will ever operate the stack with the AC adaptors coupled through the rubber access ports, for example. Sure, it's great for those who carry adaptors but are too lazy to take the stack out of the bag, but how many people really think like that? So the rubber ports, which must add substantially to the cost and are a nicely thought-through piece of design, strike me as completely unnecessary. It's the same with the transparent window. This is only used for mp3 players with a display, but using an iPod usually means tinkering with the player, which is difficult through the transparent window, and also often entails adjusting the Micro amp volume control, so most people are going to open the bag either way. A simpler bag would keep the costs down and yet meet the requirement of a bag that keeps the stack safe. (That said, I think that the Micro Strap is great!) One other thing while I'm here ... your product shots should give a better sense of scale. I was staggered by how genuinely small and cute the Micro Stack when it arrived ... much neater than I had imagined while perusing the site. |

Start putting 4 pin female connectors on your balanced amps, and 4pin balanced male connectors on the balanced headphones. After all, the K340 and K1000 were both that way before you made the blockhead, and it's so much simpler to have just 1 connector on a pair of headphones. You can make pigtails for compatibility. |
