I have found most tapes I have used will gum, shed or slow your tape machine down in time. even the newer 456 499 sheds, run's on my MCI's fine but stops or slows the Orari's, even the old 3M-220 I have to bake, I have found only two tapes that never gave me problems over time one is the EMtec 900 2...

I can't say anything good about new outboard reverb not unless it's cost you your right testicle, and I think I will keep mine. but there is some very good older stuff that I still enjoy and use, the old LP 140 Plate is great Vocals drums and so is the 1983 lexicon reverberator 200, the Yamaha D5000...

For the totally life of me I cant understand what this post is not about... it is about a product that cost ten times or more then a product that lays it on the line. for example A Superlux ECM-999 gives full details at $88 each and Avenson gives details at $250. EA. and earthworks (about the capsul...

Ok I am not trying to look inside your mic and report you to the FBi or something, don't you know... i just think it aught to be out in the open, and the public should be the first to know. I have a friend and he is a watch maker, and he go's in to Sam Ash to buy a mic under 500 star bucks and the s...

Thanks dude but I an sorry it is not a matter of electret cheep or sounding bad... some of them sound quite good and rock as overheads and instrumental recording, it would just be nice if we knew just a little more about the capsule we are purchasing. Thanks for the post. Peace and Lub.

Thanks for the posts, and John I really dig your pages, very cool web design, And just for the record I will try my darnedest to not mention names of mic's not unless it reflects something good.

Class A sounds great on everything and out of the many posts, only one guy said the case is made by (~!**) and the inside is made by (~*) and it is Junk.. long story short Jed a friend of mine gives me one new in the box. Ok I have used it a co...
