    I've used an Eitr for a long time, but it was glitchy, so I sent it in.

    What do you mean by "glitchy", I wonder if I'm having the same issues you have with Eitr

    It drops out regularly, a problem I don't have with usb, optical, or non-eitr coax.

    You post on Amir's site and say you're a convert?

    Didn't say I was a convert to anything, dude. But I don't have a problem posting on any site if I can give someone info on a product I own. Just how I am.

  @schiit Nice rework of the Schiitr; it's much more functional! And the Hel is a small powerhouse.

  Don't know if I'm being petty, but signatures or initials at the end of posts are annoyingly pretentious.

  Keith Scott from the Bryan Adams band is a seriously underrated guitarist. I love his playing and tone.

    So is Mickey Curry, his drummer (I think hes still playing with Bryan?) Very solid, no nonsense drumming.

    Some folks are truly unable to read the vibe of a room, and funny enough those seem to be the same people that can't take any criticism or taunting of any kind.

  Test-drove the new Acura RDX and was surprised with the sound system. It has good-quality tweeters, mid drivers and a decent sub.

    I wish Honda would put these systems in their vehicles: Honda stock systems are gutless.

    Agreed. Death metal makes more sense in the niche that you describe. Something like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sy6ZW2HxY8k Have never been drawn to death metal tbh.

    True. It may not be the point of the music, but a halford Dio or Osbourne is always going to elevate the song instead of sounding anonymous.

    Yeah but they have unique voices. So does the Dismember guy. “Ieeem fierced tooo murder and storm here BY THE VISIONS INSIDE MY HEAD!” Ozzy can’t sing either but the vocals in metal pretty much got universalized in the mid to late 90s to be Cookie Monster, bathroom Satan voices, and lame bar rock singing. Nobody that can compete with Ian Gillian or Tom Angelripper types.

  Loving my Quintet black so far. Incredibly tight bass, and very dynamic; it smokes the Sumiko Evo III.

  Ortofon replaced my Quintet black under warranty after a minor F-up on my part. That's how you earn loyalty
