I have some adapter cables that let me go from my Delta 66 1/4" jacks to a stereo miniplug for those speakers. I would also like to be able to use headphones for when my SO is not wanting to listen to me edit. So my thought was to go for some Edirol MA 20D's, as they have a headphone jack on the front of them that mutes the speakers. But as I read reviews, I thought I might spring for a little better monitor.. maybe a different active (powered) one such as Behringer Truth's or maybe use my carvin amp with unpowered ones, like the Tannoy Reveal's (not sure I want a big old amp cluttering up the work area though and not sure I want to afford the active Tannoys.) But I'm wondering what you all do for monitoring.. How do I go from speakers to headphones? Good monitor suggestions for the neighborhood of around $300 - $600 or thereabouts? Cabling: balanced TSR 1/4" or regular 1/4" speaker cables - or how do you go from XLR (balanced cable connections to better monitors) to the 1/4" Delta jacks - with high Z converters? Maybe someone could email me a nice little setup they are using with these type of questions answered? I would appreciate it. /jim ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Perforce Software.
