Cheerful system in a dedicated room. Innuos/RME/Audire (power amp)/Magnepan & Rythmik. Acoustic treatment make all the difference. The crows, owls and minotuars less so... .

Mid 80's, usually not over 94-95. Actually listening at lower volume since I completed my room treatments.

My mistake then, responding to the original post: I only need a single XLR input and single XLR output. I see Sonore has its analog attenuator, but it's unbalanced only. $59 at B&H Photo. What's to lose?

If you are open to in ear monitors - cannot recommend JH Audio highly enough. I have pair (Roxanne's) and for the first time ever I stopped worrying if I'm missing something in the recording.

I have a pair of ATH-M50x's and am really happy with them. Comfortable and easy to listen to for a long time at a stretch. Well represented in studioland. if you don't have a local dealer try B&H Photo. My second favorite headphone after JA Audio's that were much more expensive. I think you will like them!

Another recommendation for the Audio-Technica ATH-"n0"x family. I have not heard Left Channel's ATH-70x but have the ATH-50x and they are my favorite closed back. Very sturdy and comfortable. Additional validation (if you need it) is go to YouTube and many of the recording session performers are wearing... ATH "n0"x's! Also look at some of the reviews at B&H Photo's site for additional impressions. Lastly, my son works at two music venues in Chicago, and they use.. ATH "n0"x. Then with the money you save you can buy a better mic. Best of luck!

Few things match that new cable*network closet*server room smell. Congratulations.

I had not visited the TONEAudio site before I was enlightened by this forum, so obviously CA is driving readership. I was immediately struck by the varying and page-sensitive copyright dates.

Like this a lot. Thanks. Another choice, below: Parra for Cuva in the foreground and is super cool. Nice rendition that (technically) fits the thread, kind of a forgettable female vocal but the package works for me....

Good call - London Grammar is guilty of having taste. Does a good job with "Wicked Games"

More appreciation for Dessa here - lyric excerpt from "5 out of 6", from the album "Chime" ...And I'm running a tight ship Every deckhand here has a five-year plan And a ice pick They can write code, they can drive stick I got an octave on you and a high kick...

So. "People" are the problem with forums....
