This is a little bit outside of the box, as far as for home use maybe, but it's what I use everyday at the jobsite. It sounds petty decent, and it's held up to all weather for 4 years now. The iPod is very well protected too.

I came away feeling the same from my trials at CJ10. Though not in leaps and bounds. That most likely has a lot to do with my preference for more neutral amps however. There are certainly some exceptions to the rule IMO, as Al's Pete Millet tube masterpiece sounds fantastic with every headphone thrown at it.
Any comments on the season finale? I was a bit disappointed that it didn't wrap everything up, but not really surprised. I wonder if next season will be a new case, after this one is resolved?
Pffft! Colorado doesn't have bears. Those are more like stocky dogs. Try getting a Kodiak bear out of your driveway. Shooting them just makes them hungry.
