Yes, but I didn't see one listed on his gear, thus why I asked.

No subwoofer?

I missed your question about the Audeze mic mini-XLR cable on the Monolith AMT. No, because the port is wired with 2 pins reversed, because this is what GoldPlanar uses. There are adapters made, or you can resolder those two pins. (I've seen both done) Pin layout is on the product page (same...

Thus why we have preamps :)

My friend in Wagga Wagga NSW orders from Monoprice.com, ships from California, pays no tax, and costs him $46 to ship his headphones. (M1570) Got them in just over a week. Yes, it is rather a bold statement, and demonstrates just how blown away I am by the quality of these cans. They dig...
