    I prefer full sized ****. Midgets just look funny outside of the circus setting.

    I did get some listening time over the past weekend, but now I want to put the Keces in. Actually it's very hard to compare the two side by side since each uses a different plug-in for ASIO and it takes some configuring for each when swapping them out. The Audio GD uses a Tenor plug-in and the Keces uses the Windows generic USB plug-in and it takes some configuring of the ASIO driver for each.

    What I may do is hook-up my Netbook using MM for one of the DAC's and the PC for the other DAC using MM. I have 2 sets of MIT T2's and I can then use the two inputs on the amp and switch quickly between them without having to reconfigure the MM plug-in each time.

    I wonder when Danny (AsSimiLaTeD) is going to report some of his impressions..............the race is on :razz::loneranger:

    I know you're just bustin' my balls Tony, also work this week is kicking my butt! Not supposed to be this busy at this time of year but we are so busy it's ridiculous.

    ...plus "little people" is vague; it could mean a child, or otherwise non-genetically-afflicted small person. Midget is more specific. Brock likes midget ****, not kiddie ****.

    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....
