    Is Apple's keychain a reasonable choice for password storage?

    Been using the Pro version of LastPass for a couple of years. Works on every platform (PC/Mac/iOS/Linux) and as a plugin for most browsers. Totally integrated on each device. Disclosure: No relationship with them except as a happy customer!

    Cheap XLR cables

    Been using mostly XLR's (+ NL's) from audiopile.net. Not the cheapest, but have some I've using for close to 10 yrs!

    XLR ground lift?

    IF you mount them side by side they should have the same ground ..no? If you have buzz from the XLR connected to the PA, it's likely due to the PA being on a different circuit/ground, NOT your rack/rig!

    Matrix GT1000FX channel drop out issue.

    I was perhaps overly-broad in my assertion that "no vendor can control the quality of 3rd party parts included in their builds". In retrospect, I should have stated that in spite of QA, sourcing, etc... PARTS DO FAIL, thru no fault of the vendor! Glad Matrix is working thru the challenges! :)

    Matrix GT1000FX channel drop out issue.

    Sure.. and that is why they warranty their end product. If too many failures of specific parts occur a vendor will try to switch out suppliers, but that's not an overnight process! Paying more for higher quality products will increase consumer pricing.

    Matrix GT1000FX channel drop out issue.

    Unfortunately, no vendor can control the quality of 3rd party parts included in their builds - regardless of product. They "assume" as certain quality based on the supplier, but bad parts DO happen. At least they are taking care of you!

    My wife is pissed!!

    Brady has 9 freakin' lives.. and I gotta wonder with the recent spate of close games and sh*t that wouldn't happen during a regular game - unbelievable turnover's - how LA held on to win with a field goal w/ 4 secs left!

    Wireless IEM systems - which one to buy / avoid ?

    I do believe I said exactly that on my post - right above the one I'm replying to! ;)

    Wireless IEM systems - which one to buy / avoid ?

    Yes, if necessary. My X32 Rack - which runs our monitor mixes has both brick-wall limiter settings available on the output buss compressor, and supports inserting a [built-in] Limiter on the same buss.. So lot's of choices. In 10+ yrs of IEM use, I've only had one instance where a limiter MIGHT...

    Wireless IEM systems - which one to buy / avoid ?

    Well, not to throw a wrench in the works, ;) but since I posted my comments above that you quoted, I've talked with a number of "pros" who build IEM systems for "national acts" both on the phone and online, NONE seem to care about in-line limiters anymore! I've been on IEM's for 10+ yrs.. I...

    Live Use/ IEM Question

    This is what we do.. for our IEM's. In the OP's case, he can route both OUT's from the FM3 into separate channels, use OUT1 to FOH and OUT2 to his IEM mix, and tweak that to taste! This solution means we ALWAYS mix our own monitors and let FOH concentrate on FOH.. plus.. we get the same mix in...

    Wireless IEM systems - which one to buy / avoid ?

    Having had my Senn G3 for a few years and running a STEREO mix, I've recently done a ton of research on whether the upgrade to the G4 or some other system is worth the expen$e! The Mipro specs are awesome.. only one issue... I can't find ANYWHERE that shows the system has a built-in LIMITER...

    Just a quick question about purchasing

    It might be.. but Brit Customs will make you pay the import duty when you bring it in.. MORE if they catch you NOT declaring it.. so you're pretty much stuck with paying "used" pricing. Yes, it sux!
