Non-Latching or No Latch Female XLR Connector
Hi Guidocoroda,Usually I do not post the manufacturer name that I have not positive experiences. After all, it is just my personal limited experience. It might work well in other settings and is fine with the taste of others.Otto 
Non-Latching or No Latch Female XLR Connector
Hi Guidocoroda,I don't consider it's a problem, just inconvenience. After all, it's an European manufacturer. They just might have different design concept(s) than we have here in USA.Hi Rodman99999,With EDGE as amplification and Montana EPX as lo... 
Non-Latching or No Latch Female XLR Connector
Hi Rodman99999,I do like the sound from this gear. Unfortunately I am not good at soldering. I am thinking to put the XLR-RCA adopter as temporary solution.Thanks! 
Non-Latching or No Latch Female XLR Connector
Actually I am a little disappointed in this machine with such connectors as it has a 5-digit price tag on it. I checked the prices of latching and non-latching connectors, the difference is just within $2. It has only 3 such connectors so the tota... 
Non-Latching or No Latch Female XLR Connector
Thank you Rodman99999. Yes, I can see the spring retainer but can't press the spring from outside the box. I opened the cover of the gear and was able to press the spring retainer from inside.My fundamental question is what is the benefit to insta...

Wow! I don't know the comment can be this definite ("....none of the ones....") and critical in this forum. For a person posted more than 1850 answers in all categories, the person must be extremely knowledgeable.Please discard my naive suggestion... 
What is the best sounding Mahler symphony cycle?
Best sounding Mahler cycle? It is a question very difficult to answer.Since Haitink is mentioned here, should Kubelik, Tennstedt, Sinopoli and Boulez be nominated for a fair comparison?Also for East European interpretations, there are cycles of Ne...

Income tax on the gears shiped to foreign country
Hi Elizabeth,Thanks!If I am not mistaken, what you describe is customs duties or customs taxes. Do you know about income tax reporting to IRS? I don't want to get into trouble with IRS. By the way, I don't make money on this transaction.

Hi Newbee,It is nice that you join the forum. As I am impotent in deciphering Chopin’s notes so I can’t comment on Ivan Moravec. The only Chopin recording I have is Adam Harasiewicz’s performance. Sadly this winner of the 1955 International Chopin...
