I didn't try to take the ISO-Puck Minis apart. Height was a consideration when I looked at some of the products. The ISO-Puck Minis were the lowest profile of the products that I looked at. yeah, I wouldn't expect you to. 8) I was more just curious what the material was - are they metal or a hard p...

I got a set of IsoAcoustic's Iso-Puck Minis for them from the Amazons. They came in a day and were absolutely simple to get going. For $99 I got better imaging and clearer lows with my set up. Are the Iso-puck-minis anything more than silicone gel pads? I bought some of the Auralex ProPod Lites (th...

did I rack your PM1000? I can't remember anymore. I did so many back then (10-15+ years now)... I still have one that I kept and it's cool for certain things.

I really can't recall, but you might have.

yeah, looks like one I did!

FWIW, and on the inexpensive end (as always), I have a Yamaha PM1000 pre racked by someone here, really like it on guitars. And the ISA One is said to be a Neve design - lotsa options and it's wonderful with ribbons, too. No idear how close they are to 1073's. the ISA's are great but I think far aw...

Ever tried the Avedis MA5? I've got one and I put it on my bass drum (kick if you prefer) and it's never left that spot. I tried it once for a female vocal and it was awful (just too much for her) but I should try it on some other stuff again. I always forget and grab something else. And on kick it ...

I would try reseating (remove and reinstall) those plugs coming off the switches jacks. Sometimes miracles happen. Or if you can remove those and jumper together the pins (that should be left on the board side, but in the socket) Otherwise you should see some kind of resistance (with your DMM) acros...

These look fun. https://www.audiomaintenance.com/acatalog/aml-17-038_extended_info.html I just pulled the trigger on a second 5003D (used) today - it's an older pre that was not a kit - but you'll notice that it looks pretty similar to that one... https://vintageking.com/aml-5003d looks like a pret...

Set the meter to 200 Ohms. Can't get a steady reading but it seems to settle down somewhere between 3 and 3.5 without knowing more about the transformer used it's difficult say anything about that other than it's not "open" and it's probably not shorted to ground. But that's a start. You really nee...

I'm not specifically talking "vintage" since Neve also makes current 1073 preamps. except then they are still just clones right? I mean even if Rupert did work there, or helped design it, or whatever, its still likely to differ as component choices and availability changed. And Neve is AMS, AMEK, R...

I use dual monitors, only because that was the easiest way to get both edit and mix windows in front of me with Pro Tools (and even so, I usually have to wear reading glasses to see the small stuff). But I have only so much space between the monitors so it's a tight fit for two 24" (curved Samsung)....

I think with anything that is truly vintage (like a real 1073 from a console) you are going to have maintenance - recapping, replacing pots, any other mechanical parts (buttons, etc.). I love vintage gear and I also hate vintage gear (if it's not working). Sometimes the clones are really good, or go...

I did order this: https://www.proaudiostar.com/audix-club-kit.html for $169+ tax, you get a D6, i5, OM2, mic clips, and an aluminum flight case (and from what I understand some other stuff too - coffee mug, t-shirt, etc) and that's all for less than what they want for just the D6 mic ($199). So eve...

we are talking a $16 DI here though? --https://www.gear4music.com/us/en/PA-DJ- ... I-Box/1SDA
I wouldn't expect to much in ease of serviceability (even though all the advice offered above is valid).
