Yea, those damn things get expensive after a while.
I wear adapters out pretty regularly, but I've changed the way I swap monitoring setups, so I shouldn't be yanking cables all the time anymore.
hehe... some tasty software up there. The Waves bundle in particular. Just that costs over 6,000 usd if I'm not mistaken. (I magically acquired all this stuff without having to spend anything, except for the adapter)
