Across the Tracks

Across the Tracks is a nod to the folks we’ve shared the journey with — the competitors, the collaborators, the ones who’ve weathered storms, sourced parts in the dead of night, and traded stories about family, gear, and the grind. Even though we run separate paths, friendship and respect run deeper than rivalry. It goes back to the 406 — the Montana metal crew and our approach of share, swap, and face — and the simple truth that we’re better together. This is my way of raising a glass — to the crews and shops that keep the industry alive, and to the people whose work I trust and recommend.

Cardas Audio  The wire that set the bar. Cardas has been wired into our Corpse blood since the early days, woven deep into every corner of the work. Not just cable, but craft — geometry, metallurgy, and patience baked into copper and silver. Brian’s the one you want to talk to — exceptionally knowledgeable, no shortcuts, no horse shit. They’ve long stood shoulder to shoulder with our outfit, and when we reach for interconnects, speaker runs, or the power cables that anchor a rig, Cardas is the compass.

TTVJ – Todd’s old-school HeadRoom crew, spinning vinyl wisdom with a grin. He’s seen it all, still has stories worth leaning in for, and keeps the groove alive in a way that feels carved straight from another era. His shop has a heartbeat — it’s not just about moving boxes, it’s about keeping the music alive and connecting with the people who chase it.

Norne Audio – If braided art and sleeved shine call your name, Norne’s the place to wander. Trevor’s the mind behind the craft — sharp, steady, and with an eye for detail that pushes every build further. Precision drives every twist and turn. Not our stripped-down way, but there’s no denying the work. Think of it as cables dressed for the stage, carrying the same song down a different road. Trevor doesn’t stop at braided art — offering a variety of conductor types, gauges, and DIY connectors that builders rely on to take their own projects further.

Plussound – Sleeved and braided builds are their lane. Christian keeps it straight and reliable, which is why we point people their way when IEM cables are the goal. On top of that, Plussound has built a strong rep for supplying solid DIY parts — the kind of pieces you can trust to hold up in a custom build.

Audio46 – Headphones, amps, and the kind of service you don’t forget. Tony A and his team have a way of treating you like family — quick to answer, quick to solve, never too busy to make it right. They’re the spot we trust when gear calls, plain and simple.

Most roads meet in friendship — some end in silence. Those who walk the line know which is which.
