Chester Bennington passes...
I love their music and their weaving in of highly relevant issues and events from society and human issues into their lyrics. It's a tragedy he chose to end his life; a very selfish move. My heart goes out to his family including six (6) children,...

Taralabs cables
Tara seems to have updated their site dramatically complete with new graphics, cable cross-sections in some cases and some good rewrites on older verbiage. I highly recommend using their site as a reference for anyone interested in their cables!
