I agree with you on all fronts to be quit honest. The systems are light years ahead of where they were even five years ago. To be honest I dont know exactly what the added legnth of wire does to the accuracy of the microphone but I have done it three times in the recent months and it made the rooms sound much better subjectively.

They sounded so good in fact that even I (who does know audio and can hear most things gone right and wrong) was happy with the initial results.

I am not a level 2 guru yet but have that on my 2015 goals. I plan to buy some test gear. I would like to know your feedback on the Studio Six Digital App with the mic that HAA is using.

They have almost eliminated the Sencore gear all together. I haven't talk to Gerry in months but I think he said that's what they are steering folks towards.
