Re: Latest gear you've acquired.....
Scodiddly - I’m running my newer Auratones with a Fosi 50 watt class D mini amp. Seems to do a great job with them. $50 on Amazon. Fosi Audio V1.0G 2 Channel Class D Mini Stereo Amplifier I ended up buying a little thing from Parts Express, their house brand "Dayton Audio". Supposed to be 100 watts...

Re: Latest gear you've acquired.....
I was very happy with the Focusrite Pro support: They are sending me a new power supply free of charge to see if that fixes it, otherwise I can send it in for repair, or get 25% off by turning in towards a new interface. Which I might do at the end of the year. That's great service, especially thes...

Re: Latest gear you've acquired.....
A pair of "barn find" original Auratone 5C speakers - I had to help my Dad move into a retirement home and then there's the house to clean out (I'm getting help for that). Turned up a pair of Auratones in surprisingly good shape, pretty sure we've had those for decades but the drivers are still good...

Re: Tweeter inductance
I don't recall ever seeing inductance as a speaker parameter.
Maybe it's a factory matching thing, like "use this value for L3" on the crossover.

Re: Non-functionnal reel-to-reel: should I fix before selling?
If you want to learn how to do the repairs, then that's a great opportunity to go through that and then sell the machine for more $$$. But I wouldn't recommend paying somebody else unless you *know* there's demand for a refurbished machine. You can probably learn a lot about that possibility just by...

Same about Ann Arbor - every time I'm back for a visit, downtown is even more glossy and expensive.

Re: Latest gear you've acquired.....
Otari MX-70 with no remote. Bummer. Teac 80-8 in working condition but needs restoration, Interface Electronics/Stevenson 200 series with 200B modules and 200M master module, and a bunch of dbx Type I units. I have my work cut out for me. I haven't posted in awhile but I'm back due to FB groups not...

Re: Best mics/mic-ing approaches for sax?
I love a Sennheiser 441 on sax.
Failing that, a LDC that's not overly bright is usually a good choice.

Re: Transducer use?
Might be one of those things you stick to a pane of glass or that old style paneling to turn it into a speaker.

Re: What preamps are y'all liking these days?
For condensor mics, whatever is in the little interface. :roll: Couple years ago I dug out my copy of that TapeOp Hamptone preamp DIY and finally built the damn thing (I still had almost all the parts I'd bought for it). It's fantastic but complete overkill for my uses, so I ended up building severa...

Re: Thoughts on the ZED-428
It's a live board, but A&H stuff is pretty decent. Those have separate circuit boards for each channel so repairs are a lot easier.

Re: Latest gear you've acquired.....
It's going to be a month or two before I actually *have* it, but last night I bought a new neck for my trusty old 1969-ish P-bass. Warmoth, since everybody told me that bass deserves a really good neck (the old one has never been quite straight and nobody's been able to fix it). Weirdly enough the o...

We send and receive a lot of packages at work, and UPS is generally considered better than FedEx. USPS Priority Mail is pretty solid and quick, too.
