Re: transient designers

I got one once to see if it would help with removing or softening the ticky transients from a hard picked acoustic guitar. Maybe I didn't spend enough time but I couldn't get it to sound good for that purpose and sold it.

Re: Latest gear you've acquired.....

Peavey Tube Sweetener. Didn't know what to expect. Some think it's great, some say it really sucks. The one I got last week looks like new old stock. Perfect, like new condition. Built like a tank. Massive power supply providing over 300 volts for the tubes. I put in two NOS Webcor 12AX7s (US made t...

Re: What is this Radio Shack EQ Everybody's Talking About?

All these years later, and I'm still using that Rat Shack EQ for a few sources here and there. It's the 5 band silver faced 1987. Actually has better tone than a TF Pro P9 mastering EQ I just sold for $1,500

Re: eBay seller sent me the wrong mic....

I recently bought a MXL V63M for $30 on eBay. My intent was to use it for practicing my soldering of component upgrades. To my surprise, I discovered it was an already modded version, and not only that, a fantastic sounding mic! Wish I knew who did the mod because it's unbelievable how good this mic...

Anybody have the new ZULU Passive tape emulator?

Thought I'd start a thread over here re the new ZULU tape emulation box from Handsome Audio. I've tried all the tape emulators except the Anamod. ZULU actually sounds like tape. Much better than 542s I used to have. It's passive which is really cool. You can pair it with preamps or comps to compensa...

Jan 2015 and they're still here. I have fond memories of the old days when they sold stuff I thought was useful. Used to pour over the newest Radio Shack catalog. But I agree they need to go now. Currently populated by electronics morons. Now, when I go in for a 1/4 inch plug or a resister or someth...

I'm not on f-ing Facebook, and never will be. I personally HATE these kind of "Like us on Facebook" giveaways, and just generally hate Business Presence on Facebook in general. Why would anyone "Like" a commercial brand? So stupid. "Liking" anything on social media in general is just daft IMO. Bunc...
