Re: MARIK mod on Cascade Vin-Jet ribbon

I guess the talk of 'is it worth modding that vin jet for 300' and then straight to a recommendation of the Durham 'booster confused me..the Durham must have a significant effect on overall sound? buying some different and perhaps better mics, i understand The Shiny boxes are interesting and have gr...

Now there's an MRX 24 channel in my area..supposedly in great shape.

I came across this Soundtracs Topaz..bit of a drive to get it but I want to get some insight as to which version of the Topaz this is and whether or not it's worth it etc..The guy wants $800 for it..seems a couple hundred high but hoping for pricing opinion. Generally..is this a really old one and i...

Thanks TREX..that stuff sounds great..nice band, digging that sorta punk with shiny vocals. What's the deal with the Soundtracs cult? These boards seem to have a very loyal following and get pretty much great reviews (forum boards and otherwise} for the most part. Im thinking about them but, again, ...

Kingtoad, im aware of this as one of the Midas negatives, thanks and wondering how folks who are using it to record, are dealing with phase in many mic setups. Nick, considering the gl2400's but they seem to come up way often in the used lists. Then there's the guy who comes onto discussions and tra...

Thanks all, The Otaris seem like the best bang for the dollar. I keep hearing that their sound is not anything really distinctive..like it sounds good but doesn't really have a jump out at you character?

Recommend a mixdown deck...please

Hi new here..I always read this board, finally joined. Cool board that always shows up in my google searches for tape and other related stuff Wondering if anyone can recommend a good mixdown deck...yes 2 track would be fine but interested in up to 8 if the tape size is decent and the PRICE is right....
