Re: a U-87 for under $70?

Re: Capture 914 and 930 1/4" Tape -Anyone try this new tape

Is this or the lpr35 appropriate for my Fostex A8? Excuse the late response. RTM LPR35 is (*in my opinion) probably best for Fostex A8/R8 reel decks. RTM LPR35 (thinner 911) is closest to old Quantegy 457 and is easier for the Fostex's mechanicals to pull, less head wear. Never used Capture but RTM...

Bump for a 2012 LA beer night... (in Morgan Freeman's voiceover voice) "The LA beer night never did happen." As soon as the Coronavirus vaccine is available to all (not just first responders and high-risk individuals), scheduling a LA beer night/get-together is a must. Keep it in mind, everyone.

If you need another opinion on the Tascam MX2424 you could PM this guy named Larry Crane. As I remember, he had one of those in his recording studio quite a while back.

Even by the blog's description, the change doesn't sound very dramatic at all. Are you sure it's worth it?

Sytek Mic Pre Improvements

atomiumamps has an interesting tumblr blog article about Sytek MPX-4Aii mic preamps and attempts to implement different op amps to improve performance. I'm thinking about sending one of mine in for Matt's mods... Link: https://atomiumamps.tumblr.com/post/187545197016/1999-sytek-mpx-4a-ii-mic-preamp-...
