ok, i know some of you guys are really hardcore about your playback, and i respect that fully. in fact, one day i hope to beef mine up, and look forward to doing so.
but isn't this kind of overkill...i get what they're saying...but its a wooden knob, couldn't i just make my own for $480 cheaper?

i think its somewhere around there i draw the line.

I tried those but they sounded bright on my system. The ones I use now are finished with a highly damped varnish. The cost is a little more, but well worth it. Absolutely transparent after a 50hrs of break in.

is that 50 hours of playing music with them on your stereo...or 50 hours of turning the volume up and down? ;D
-
Thats 50 hours of rubbing the knob and making moaning noises. I just realized that I didn't indicate sarcasm in my previous post. Hopefully no one is off ordering one now. ;-)

i figured either sarcasm or rolling my eyes completely :P :P

haha, yeah, if anyone drops 5hundy on knobs can i borrow a thousand from them for some new mics...i'll pay ya back in under a year, i promise.
