Different package than the ones I worked on, but the guts look really similar. I agree that black tubular cap type is almost always bad. Everything I said in my groupDIY thread should still apply.

Used to be the band was always present, and that dropped off 12-15 years ago immediately to NO ONE attending. For me at least. The part I miss about attended mix sessions is that, no matter what crazy things occurred, you were probably done when they left. As opposed to now, with a dozen recall/remi...

It is an awesome way to get the best flanging sound ever though!

Two amps or multiple mics for one sometimes. With power trio I’ve also had good success putting bass in a crossover, lows to middle and treating guitar equivalent frequencies as opposite pan for guitar.

Don't chase anything else until you get filament voltage to make tubes light up. That is possibly the only problem.

New heat pump for the rear section of the studio.

I just saw an MI-4207-L with it’s original shipping box, 1957 date on it.

I haven't looked into the 44 so closely, but at times with RCA the -'X' can be a color difference, sometimes it's more than that. Like if something came in 3 colors, A/B/C would be the first variation, D/E/F the second, etc. Example: 36-A equipment shelf (2nd version) MI-4681C black MI-4681E transmi...

Some version of a Whirlwind Cuebox?

I used a Neumann KM131 omni in that position as the only mic on a drum kit, sounded great, cymbals properly 'Back In Black' low but clear.

For those who own or use this pre, what models do you have and which IC preamps do you prefer?

Mine both are the stock version. I have plenty of color pre's, so never felt the need to make these lean that way.

I usually feel like I'm too close to it to see the big problems anyway, at the end I'm just pushing pixels around that pretty much no one, including myself, will see a week later. Usually there's some time constraint that forces my hand, cuts off potential final tweaks. It can be good to develop a r...

Been awhile since I used it, but I’d say medium to loud sources, maybe ok with a quiet source and a high output mic. Depends on so many things....including how much you want to lean into RX7.

how noisy is it? is it useable on quiet sources or is it a loud guitar amp kinda thing only?

More interesting than usual here, finished one remote tracking job with an electric band, got back to studio and changed out the gear, went and set up an other remote session for the next few days, acoustic duo work. Both several hours away from home, in different directions.
