@skanda,Thanks for your post. May I know what DAC you are currently using with Taiko Extreme?  
Tannoy Stirlings on the way!

Try to train them...again, or simply shoot them?
“I am not living to die with the biggest, most perfect media collection,” ~ I felt that. In the end it just won’t matter. Great post by @douglas_schroeder. My condolences on your loss. I lost my Dad four years ago. I end up giving away most of his...
