Do you know about what year this is from and if there have been any repairs/upgrades particularly with the power supply? I purchased this board from another TapeOp member years ago - I do not believe there have ever been any issues or repairs with the power supply. I am not certain the exact year, ...

Man this board + 16 tracks of tape + a 24channel trs Motu interface (and a shitload of cables) seem like the best damn setup for me... Problem is i'd have to sell the A&H to raise funds, and I'm not sure if I want to do that since that board has a ton utility as well....hmm...let me think about thi...

Could you explain the Phantom power issue a bit more? Also I am in cedar rapids IA would you consider meeting part way? The board has had this small issue ever since I bought it - small diaphragms condensers are fine, as are most large diaphragm condensers. However, the board does not seem to provi...

Is this the original Topaz, or the second Project 8 version and does it have the meter bridge? Thanks. The original version (Miami Vice color scheme), and no meter bridge. Sorry, should have been more specific! First post here...sweet... Saw your Ad while lurking and I've been looking into various ...

Used but well maintained. Never left my studio for the past 5 years, a smoke-free environment. No issues other than that it sometimes has issues powering certain large diaphragm condensers, but I will include a free Rolls phantom power supply. An excellent board with great preamps, it's served me we...

hot women... is that some funky name for a new microphone?

this is one of the best threads the tomb has seen in a long time.

A term that always sounds funny to me is "musical". i.e. "Thie EQ is extremely musical." It just seems like a shorter way of saying "Hey this EQ works and when you use it, it doesn't sound like it just took a dump on your source." Is it just me? ditto, i've always thought that was a dumb one. whene...

culture moves way too fast for me.

i think thats the point brad... no one knows.

I like his music a lot. I saw him at the pitchfork festival with thousands of others, and left with the feeling that he was one of my best friends.


there's something to be said about that. I agree with centurymantra that he has a sort of 'intangible presence'.

You mean these mics coming in from china can get brighter? alright!

I have a 24 channel Soundtracs Topaz and it's probably the most highly tomb endorsed board out there. And rightfully so, it's incredible. The preamps are often compared to FMR's RNP's, though I can't make that comparison because I've never used them. However I can say that the pre's sound really, re...
