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.  
Please Help Weed Them Out
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

What about the HE-R9? They're only $109 Are they any good?  
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 ...

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.

Yeah, I guess it would go the way of the QOL Completion Device. It would be cool though for people with solid state amps.  
Whats the weirdest concert you ever attended?
ZZ Top at Madison Square Garden. I had floor seats and the bathrooms were a mess. People throwing up in the corners, and pissing in the sinks. There was more alcohol there than in a distillery.
