| FYI: Audeze robbed $250K worth of gear stolen Sounds like you folks need to get you some loyal pitbulls to patrol the area after hours. A couple of these dogs will eliminate any potential for after hours shenanigans...-RW- | |
| Ring Clamps. What do you think? Folks, I truly appreciate your expertise in such matters. Clearly you love your vinyl rigs. However, the correct word usage is "damping", NOT dampening. If you dampen something, you are making it wetter by adding water. Damping refers to taming vi... | |
