I have 2 pairs of Beyer DT770 pro headphones that I use for tracking and checking mixes. My 2nd pair is just a couple months old, and I realized that I wish I had another flavor of headphone for my 2nd pair. Anyone interested in a straight trade? I paid around $180 for them new, but would be interes...

i got some tape from 201loop for my re150 and had the same problem with the splice, very frustrating. just ordered a replacement from mytapeecho and will report back on the results. I also just got a fulltone replacement for my echoplex ep-3 and it works great, sounds awesome, plus mike includes a r...

the webers are amazing. i've replaced my 65 reverberocket and ac30cc with webers, makes a huge difference. check their forums for recommends.

I was going to build a version of nydaves box, but ended up buying a homemade 8x2 box from this forum a few weeks ago. My setup is pretty modest, PTLE/002r, but I definitely noticed a subtle but really nice difference in the exact same mix ITB vs OTB. The makeup pre was a stock sytek. Definitely mor...

Did a quick search and didn't see that anyone had posted this yet. Pretty much awesome if you ask me. The lead guitar player is all over the comments.

Thanks! That sounds like a plan.

hey everybody, wondering if anyone has tried this mod in a mxl 990? i understand it's the same capsule as the 603, but i was wondering how the tube fits in the upright body, and maybe how it sounds after a mod. i have 2 990s i bought years ago and they've become noisy to the point of becoming unusab...

jon, if this was the tube version i'd be considering it. been thinking about that pre for years.

how's the build coming along? you should stop by next time you're in portland.

Hello! I just added xlr's to 2 radio shack pzms, and added a 9volt battery clip. Without doing the phantom power mod, is it safe to use these mics in a preamp with phantom power (IE. a preamp with global phantom on or off)? Wondering if the capsule is sensitive or if the voltage will cancel itself o...

reading this reminded me that I need to repair the worn out elastic on my 4047 shockmount. i didn't even think of actual AT elastic, i was going to get some from a craft supply shop or something. anyway, i wrote parts at AT, and they're shipping me a new set of elastic free of charge. didn't ask for...

just an update that the garage studio is now functioning, with just some cosmetic stuff to take care of. check the sayers thread for more photos & an audio clip.

thanks!!

i'm loving the new album too. similar feel to sky blue sky, but the songs seem tighter to me somehow. classic soft rock feel. anyone else notice what sounds like cellphone interference during some of the breaks in Bull Black Nova? Kind of chattering sound. Must be intentional, but I had to make sure...

not much to add. really gorgeous record. thanks for the details!

Wow, that looks like quite a project, even before getting to the studio construction part. Thanks for the post, most of the garage conversion topics on Sayers' forum always seem to be in the planning stage, cool to see an actual build in progress. yeah, it's hard to believe it was basically sitting...
