Here are some bands that I am positive that no one else will post: Oh yeah, barely any growly vocals in any of this Cire - Wholesale Buyout http://cire.bandcamp.com/ Lecivius - Microbes http://lecivius.bandcamp.com/ Kings of Prussia (NOT King of Prussia) - Occurring Before In Time http://www.reverbn...

OK, that makes a lot more sense. Post some tracks when you get a chance to take her out for a spin. Sounds like a really neat project, just not a "hundreds of hours" project!

Hundreds of hours? Really? That is insane. How much does your tech charge? What is done is done and I hope you like the results, but you could have built a console from scratch with that amount of time invested! Let me guess, you're a big Lee Scratch Perry fan? Also, the 80db of gain figure is proba...

I don't know of ANY interfaces the go 24ch ADAt > FW800, but there are two FW400 units. The previously mentioned M-Audio Lightbridge and the Presonus Firestudio Lightpipe. The Presonus actually has 32 channels of ADAT I/O AND its not made by M-Audio, so its got that going for it. I've never used it,...

If you want to mess around with raising the center tap above ground, try a voltage divider with a 1M and 10k resistor/ 25uf cap in parallel. You run the 1M resistor from B+ after the choke and connect to the 10k resistor / 25uf cap which are grounded. Place your center tap at the intersection of the...

Does your unit have the little pots mounted to the own panel and adjusted from the front of the unit or do you have the simpler type wired directly to the tag strip and adjusted from the rear? If it is the first type, try simply grounding the middle lug and trimming the pot until any hum is cancelle...

tedweber.com has great prices and good reliability on their axial caps.

- I removed basically everything except for the PSU section and the EF86 stage. right now the B+ voltage at the EF86 stage is about 300Vdc. is this too high? to lower it would I just put another resistor in series with the + side of the power supply to drop some of that voltage? if that's the case,...

I didn't hear from you, are you interested?

I have the full original 7308 service manual in binder somewhere in storage. I am moving at the end of the month and will keep an eye out for it. If I find it, its yours! PM here of E-mail me directly :: xfmr AT xfmr DOT org

Whew! What a freakishly awesome synth this is! I have serial number 37 of only 96 made. These beasts were discontinued earlier this year and supply has completely dried up. I have it on ebay right now at $3000, but I will sell to a TapeOpper directly with free shipping in the USA (shipping extra els...

Here is a blog post with a full schematic if you want to mess around with my EF86/12AU7 design. I call it the 'Brute Force' as it heaps a ton of gain on with no feedback!

For small signal tubes you can run them at a lower voltage like 5.7v and get massive increases in life of the tube. When you do this, the tube gain goes down some from the nominal, but is more stable over the longer life of the tube. As for your desire to add another EF86, yes of course you can do t...

Here is one heck of a cool Ampex 351. I wonder how much it will go for? $50,000 is the starting bid!
