Doug's Audio DenKiwi, it's looking like it will be closer to mid-year. I have been very deep into it with some high end gear for upcoming reviews. Once that is all taken care of, then it's on to the amps in questi... posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |
Doug's Audio DenLoc, There may be some improvement with the XLR, however the cables used will have almost as much influence. Changing the power cord will have almost as much influence. So, it's not a major problem... posted over 17 years ago | View comment | |
