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.

Re: KNOWER "house sesh" recordings

Hah! Clown Core is what led me to KNOWER, actually. Very fun stuff.

And if *that* isn't TapeOp primitive recording, I don't know what is.
