I guess the other way of looking at it would be to check your gear list against someone else's more typical set up and asking yourself the question "Which of my mics does the function of that one?" This is a great idea! Thanks to you & all the other good ideas & recommendations from everyone. Thank...

I guess you answered your own question... I guess the question I'm asking more than anything is, can anyone think of anything I could benefit from that I don't have in the closet already... Points taken: More high dollar mics - I personally think this is a semi-valid point except for the fact that ...

When I suggested better quality mics I didn't realize that you'd modded a lot of them to suit your tastes. I also didn't see all those "x2" and "x4" s. I think you've answered your own question. I'm always leery of people (myself included) saying "I've got some money, what should I spend it on?" Yo...

Hi JD, I voted you have too many mics. If I were you I would start by replacing the microphones that can be replaced with better quality ones.Start by upgrading one LDC tube mic. Pelusos are a good brand to look at. The Advanced Audio CM-47 is a hand-wired tube mic with a Peluso Capsule... It is my...

OK, so you got lucky here. But still, sometimes you just have to spend money to avoid spending even more money. How much did it cost you in gas and time to search all the stores in town? It took me 2 phone calls & one 6 mile drive. I needed one anyway plus I get the gratification of helpin' at leas...

If anyone needs them I'm willing to let go of 8 of them so let me know via PM. I'll mail them out to you. To cover the stamp, PayPal fees & the ...

Talk about bumpin' an old thread...

i have a pair of fully modded mp105s... yeap, the noise, it gets to acceptable levels, thats the main benefit. also it hi-fis the amp a bit, the top is much less hashy. but its never gonna be a "quiet" amp. and it doesnt end up with a ton of headroom- but when it craps out, it overdrives nicely. yo...
