Ha. Come here to post this and I gotta follow this guy ^^^^ ? I just picked up these RAMSA boards for $50 each. Gonna be fun to mess around with. I often prefer even cheap analog to digital emulations. 20 mic pres and EQs and two options to mess with for summing/stems. Not bad for a hundred bucks. Nice buy ! Sell the little stereo one buy another of the cheap of the same vintage 4 bus bolt frames together , get a bigger PSU and find a way to tie the 2 ribbon cables and you have a decent little Hi fi sounding board!

Ha. That might be more ambitious than I'm feeling just yet! In (brief) testing in headphones I felt like the little 208 had more vibe-y pres. Plus it's such a cool little small footprint thing that pairs up nicely with my current 8 I/O on the Apollo. Gonna try a sum and compare to the D Box. Print back through the WARM Pultecs and Burl?? Never know, could sound great. These old cheap RAMSA's have a little bit of a cult following (emphasis on "little bit" : ) I can say that in my headphone testing the EQs sounded really solid. We'll see.

https%3A//soundcloud.com/john-gaynor-297594390/avalon-apogeehttps%3A//soundcloud.com/john-gaynor-297594390/avalon-jcf I actually like the JCF version of those two... funny how everyone likes things differently... If you don't mind, what is it you don't like about the JCF version above, compared to the apogee, or is it a function of value for money? cheers Wiz

Visiting my folks, picked up a 1958 Slingerland snare the owner had since grade school. Original calf skin head is still in tact, but his grandson put a hole in the bottom. $100. Not too bad!
My dad told me everyone's got to collect something, I guess my thing is sparkly drums.
And I bought a Giant Beat 18" multi.
I will buy some pro audio related stuff soon...waiting for VP28's to be back in stock...but spending $50-$100 on vintage drums is a little more rewarding than what you can get for that much for the studio.

My pair of Neve 33114's have arrived! I pick them up from the post office this afternoon. The $783 I got slugged in taxes and import duties did sting somewhat! Still it would have been double that if I'd been in the EU.

I think I need to spend some quality time with an M7 rather than just hearing it on other people's mixes. The question is will it cause me to want to sell my 480L or will I want both?

M269c V76/80 Foote P4s Plus with FCS 2736 and 2737 input output Ampex 601 pre Amphion one18 w/ mono blocks Dbx 161VU Ok, well done... now listen here for a moment. I mean really listen. Put down the phone. Look into my eyes,. Concentrate on the sound of my voice. It's very soothing and calming, isn't it? Now together let's go through a relaxation exercise. I say 1, you say A, I say 2 you say B and so on.... ...and y 25. WHy? In 25 days you're going to grow very tired of the M269c and wish to find it a new home. I'm here to help you. I'm going to take you out for a great dinner and drinks and then you can say good bye to the old Neumann Microphone and know that it will be taken care of. Everything will be so much better then.

Hilarious. Here's the thing. I've already had nightmares of the ac701k going out and having to buy another. Thinking about getting a power conditioner so it has an even clean electric line going to it. Maybe that's overkill...

I bought a car. And a mattress. Another car? Well, a different car. I needed something bigger, with better mileage. I traded in the mercedes and got a mazda 6. Honestly it feels like a better car all around. It's just not as smooth riding as the mercedes, but it's a ton better handling.

Those new Mazdas are nice, I know someone with a manual 3. I liked it even just from the passenger seat.
