| Adding a “safe haven” forum for discussion of tweaks? tsushima @toolbox149 Really? Get A Grip 🤨 Great, There ya’ go. If you don’t like the way I handle the direction of my threads.

| Adding a “safe haven” forum for discussion of tweaks? I’ve said this before, but I’ll throw my suggestion out one more time. I think these issues could be helped if the OP had the power to delete a single post, or all of the posts in a thread by someone. Just a couple of buttons that let each OP deci... | |

| Anyone hear Jay's Audio cdt2-mk3 vs mk2? I also bought the Qstab for my MK2 and I fully concur with dwmb’s an wig’s impression of the benefits, with one addition. During the past 10 years I have really become more attracted to vocals. To reproduce vocals without an unwanted “raspy” qu... | |
