Re: Heritage Audio Britstrip

I've been really tempted by this lately, too. Not a ton of user reviews out there still.

Re: Drummers Headphones?

The king of isolation headphones is the Remote Audio HN7506 - if i got the type number right. It's a helicopter headset with Sony headphone capsules. The ear cushions are so comfortable you can wear them all day and the isolation is top notch, a few dB above everything else. They are expensive. The...

Re: The Truth Hurts - REW and my room...

He didn't add any extra treatment, he just moved the speakers. Trying to fix a big null at 80 with a sub, I just don't get it. You can't tell a sub to put out just a half octave either side of 80hz to fill up your null. They're going to put out everything under whatever you have the low pass filter...

Re: The Truth Hurts - REW and my room...

Anyway, no amount of treatment is gonna get rid of that null ??? That's exactly what proper room treatment does. I don't feel like arguing so I'll just say that going from a 15db null at 80 to half that at 95 is a HUGE improvement and losthighway I hope you did a little celebration dance. I'd argue...

Re: The Truth Hurts - REW and my room...

I moved the speakers as close to the wall as possible, which as he predicted moved the hole in the spectrum to a higher (and more easily managed) frequency. Cool. This works on the same principle as a properly-positioned sub. That close to the wall, your monitors are doing some of the work exciting...

Re: The Truth Hurts - REW and my room...

The problem is large, physical and very centered as a null around 80hz The only way you'll fix that is with a sub, probably two of them. https://mehlau.net/audio/multisub_geddes/ https://carltatzdesign.com/downloads/elephant-room-article.pdf I'm a little skeptical. Especially considering the second...

Re: Critique drum sound?

Sounds bright but good overall! Do you need stereo overheads? They may not be as necessary as you might think. I like to play with one "overhead" above and behind the drummer's right shoulder, pointed at the kick pedal (then adjust positioning to taste for overall kit balance), especially if it's an...

FS/FT: U87AI internal assembly

Got a TLM67 internal assembly instead which works much better for my voice. I don't actually know what a fair price is for these because I never see them for sale. $600? The sold one I could find on Reverb went for $850. Would love to trade for a tube preamp. https://i.imgur.com/q1TEvr5.jpg https://...

Counter computer is now working but has been intermittent in the past - everything else is 100% functional - the transport, rec/play and all ins and outs and other fu...
