Re: 1073's... Real deal or one of the many clones?
So one question might be "what kind of shape are the originals in?". I wonder if it's like those old Silvertone amps, where the really desirable sound is when enough resistors have drifted in value.

Re: Latest gear you've acquired.....
I should really try those myself. I had some of the mopad style foam blocks (but off-brand) and they were worthless. I forgot about these - they would fit perfectly where I need them too... Application dependent, of course. I was at some place where they had those Recoil Stabilizer things, and when...

Re: How Do I Test A D.I. Box?
Well, what *is* your meter exactly? Generally it would be an ohms setting, lower ranges. DC resistance isn't exactly the same as AC impedance, but it'll be in the ballpark.
For that matter, what's the make and model of the DI?

Re: How Do I Test A D.I. Box?
Open it up and test directly on the transformer leads?

Re: Latest gear you've acquired.....
Another returner here! My latest acquisition is a WORKING display for my Juno G , which apparently people other than Roland are now manufacturing on their own. I have a friend doing stuff like that - last I saw he had a modern power supply for the Emulator II, some kind of memory retrofit for a lot...

Re: monitors
Interesting... those Pendragons look like a project a YouTuber was doing recently. I must admit I figured that even though he was pretty realistic about design stuff I thought it looked ridiculous. But using those drivers for mids makes a lot more sense.

Re: Saturation Tools and Tricks
Just using the stock plugins in Reaper myself, but... I do like the "Waveshaping distortion" plugin. A lot of my stuff the past couple of years has been mixing together phone vocals (ie recorded remotely direct to a phone mic), and that tends to help a lot. Now that I've got these old Auratones to p...

Re: monitors
Because I'm a cheapskate amateur in the recording field (my paychecks come from a live sound company), I have a pair of the JBL LSR-305 (first generation). They're really pretty good, measuring fairly flat and seeming pretty predictable. Before them I had a pair of Event thingies which are now down ...

Re: Latest gear you've acquired.....
Scodiddly - I’m running my newer Auratones with a Fosi 50 watt class D mini amp. Seems to do a great job with them. $50 on Amazon. Fosi Audio V1.0G 2 Channel Class D Mini Stereo Amplifier I ended up buying a little thing from Parts Express, their house brand "Dayton Audio". Supposed to be 100 watts...

Re: Latest gear you've acquired.....
I was very happy with the Focusrite Pro support: They are sending me a new power supply free of charge to see if that fixes it, otherwise I can send it in for repair, or get 25% off by turning in towards a new interface. Which I might do at the end of the year. That's great service, especially thes...

Re: Latest gear you've acquired.....
A pair of "barn find" original Auratone 5C speakers - I had to help my Dad move into a retirement home and then there's the house to clean out (I'm getting help for that). Turned up a pair of Auratones in surprisingly good shape, pretty sure we've had those for decades but the drivers are still good...

Re: Tweeter inductance
I don't recall ever seeing inductance as a speaker parameter.
Maybe it's a factory matching thing, like "use this value for L3" on the crossover.

Re: Non-functionnal reel-to-reel: should I fix before selling?
If you want to learn how to do the repairs, then that's a great opportunity to go through that and then sell the machine for more $$$. But I wouldn't recommend paying somebody else unless you *know* there's demand for a refurbished machine. You can probably learn a lot about that possibility just by...

Re: Latest gear you've acquired.....
Same about Ann Arbor - every time I'm back for a visit, downtown is even more glossy and expensive.
