Echo had a small product line under their own name, but they did a lot of software and hardware development for other manufacturers, and they still do. -- For a good time, call http://mikeriversaudio.wordpress.com |

You know, that Pacific whatever company that Microsoft scarfed up the technology? I guess that was in the days before digital audio editors, to electronically enhance CD audio. I really wasn't impressed,though I only have a few HDCDs, even one from the budget bin, Joni Mitchell. Jack |

You are showing your ignorance again. Echo was one of the leaders in computer based audio for years when many others *were* garbage. You were probably happy with your soundblaster though. Trevor. |

I wanted to prepare a box with a label at work, then pack the unit at home and drop it off at a local FedEx. That's why I wanted the weight. I too had seen the shipping weight of around 6 pounds, but I didn't believe it; I figured it was three pounds tops going from my memory of holding the thing. As it turns out it was 5.5 pounds with the box once I was done, and I didn't include anything but the base unit and power chord. |

Maybe the manual, CD with drivers, firewire cable, and other stuff that came in the original package brings up the shipping weight. -- For a good time, call http://mikeriversaudio.wordpress.com |

I shipped a 1/4" master tape today and the box with all the padding weighed about three times as much as the pancake itself did. And the insurance cost more than the shipping. That's how it goes. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |
