OK, so I got a set of AKG K371. I like them a lot, and only $160 from Amazon! I originally got a set of Hihiman HE-R9, but I thought they were too dull sounding and very bulky. These AKG' are great, and I just ordered a set of Dekoni Choice Leathe... 
Audeze - 3 conductors per side?
OK, I got my answer on Google Images. I know, I've been living in a cave in Tibet. So it seems they join pins 1 and 3 to ground making it really only 2 conductors to the driver.  
Audeze - 3 conductors per side?
Yes, I understand an XLR connection at line level will be 3 conductors just like gdnrob says, but to connect to a speaker driver, wouldn't it be just 2 conductors?  
-20 DB Volume Measurment
No, it's more a reference of the input level. Your preamp is telling you that at -20db it is lowering the input signal by that amount. It is independent of your amp.

I understand your warning, but the Benchmark puts in a separate THX Headphone AMP of very good quality. At least good enough to be called decent.

I also see the Sundara closed back headphones for $229 Some say they're lacking in bass. Can anyone offer an opinion on them? Thanks

Velodyne DD15 - worth repairing the plate amp?
I sent my plate amp in for repair (DD15) and it only worked for another year. I wasn't into paying $400 per year to keep it going, so I moved on. SVS has some nice stuff with free shipping.  
Question: Sub with Fs 54, but response remains above 95dB down to 27: How can I best build
This is a bit of a story, but who else but you guys would appreciate this? A while ago my friend built a big coffee table sub with an 18" down firing driver. He got it all completed and wired up. On top of the table/sub he had a large heavy glass ...

Just be careful to brace this 7 cubic foot box. This will be a big box, over 2 feet in all directions, if a cube. Without a lot of strong bracing you will loose a lot of driver energy to flexing the enclosure.

Very Interesting asctim.

@8th-note I also have a BSG QOL, and I wasn't implying that it could do this task I am seeking, but rather this device I am inquiring about will probably end up as popular as the QOL. That is to say almost extinct.

I was thinking strictly for hi-fi.

Well, allright, allright, allright. We're getting somewhere.

Yes, he called it the transfer function. So we need him to make a variable transfer function box.
