Where is the Chrome??
Hi everyone, I just got a Beachtek DXA-8 along with a AT4073a mic for XMass. Sweetness! However I was kind a bummed when I opened the box to the DXA-8 and knobs on it were just black plastic and not the chrome ones advertised or like the ones on the outside of the box. I know its only superficial but what happened to my chrome?
Happy Holidays to everyone! |

Even the chrome ones were just plated plastic. I assume they did away with them due to flaking, but I'm just hazarding a guess.

Chrome is amateur stuff, everyone knows basic black is pro. Mine is black.

I didn't realize it was plastic as well I thought the chrome ones were metal and I got some plastic ones. I feel much better now.

I'd rather have plastic anyway. Not that it happens often, but occasionally you'll build up static. Not to mention weight. It adds up. :-) Hmmm....how many justifications can we come up with. ;-)
