Hi, Just read the Gear Geaking column about 'headphone phase' and it got me thinking (dangerous, right?) I want to create a gizmo to do two things: 1. When I record myself singing I use the one ear headphone thing. And even when I squeeze the other ear to the side of my head to muffle the leakage -s...

I've got a number of Avantone mics (no jokes, please) with swappable capsules that screw on/off. The only downer about these is that the screw threads are DELICATE brass (like on old flashlights) and the capsule threads are even more so. So unless yer SUPER careful, eventually there is a tendency to...

Blu-Ray 4K $$$ now you have 4 copies of that movie and a garage full of old TVs right? yep, it's just an opportunity to re-sell you the records you already bought once or twice already. LOL. However, at the risk of blaspheming, I believed in the -idea- of CDs. People forget how fraught/crappy vinyl...

Thanks for the replies... well... aside from the name-calling... I'm not shopping for mics. I'm surprised others have no experience with this feeling. My best example is, as a bass player in the 80's one could purchase any number of Jazz or Precision basses for $250-$300. Nobody wanted them. Back th...

As I wrote, I really have no dog in this fight. But IMHO, it doesn't matter what the signal is, the battle is lost unless it becomes fashionable to actually -listen- to music again, for long periods of time, as an activity unto itself. Otherwise, how do you convince the listening public to invest in...

A cry for help. :D I made my first 'home' recordings of my own singing, 34 years ago with an SM-57 and a Mackie board. Every so often, I happen upon some old tapes and ADATs of my younger self and I always come back to a truth that I have been unable to face. Seriously I have always, deep down, pref...

Call me a hick and a Luddite, but I know very little about PONO... and (gasp) I don't find 16/44.1 a tragedy. But I found the author's enthusiasm intriguing... so this is a sincere (if perhaps 'noob' question) How does this work without decent transducers? Even if the $400 player and media has all t...

Well not like it matters, but I think I did figure out the 'magic'. Like many powered monitors these days, it has a power LED on the front. What they did was run the wires for this underneath the speaker mounting ring... so it's basically in contact with the rubber edge of the speaker. My guess is t...

And this is an unbiased review? :D Forgot to mention, no relation, I swear! :-) I did try to get a discount because of the shared name but alas no joy. I just wanted to say 'Thanks' for the recommendation. The guy I spoke with was really old school and gave me some good advice... actually talked hi...

And this is an unbiased review? :D I'm fine either way... Thanks. I'm just trying to get some names at this point. I can hear a slight 'fuzz' in the woofer. Not fried yet, but it's on its way. Anyone else? ---JC Hi, Can someone recommend a speaker reconer in this area? ---JC Morgan Sound has always ...

Hi,

I have an Event ASP-8 monitor that has a buzzing woofer. It's probably 6 yrs old.

Can someone recommend a speaker reconer in this area?

TIA,

This Just In: General Franco Still Dead! It's now been 2 months and the little darlings are still squeaking. I contacted the WDFW and the bit... er 'officer' hinted she'd love to make my life miserable if I 'evicted' the birds at this stage. However, my Discovery Channel education continues and it s...

In addition to the 'Prairie Home Companion' pathetic humour of the situation, it's actually kinda interesting from an acoustics standpoint. Ya spend all this time/money on walls and floors and trying to prevent 'transfer of energy' and so on which is of no use here. I mean, there's no chapter on 'sm...

Or not? :D One of those things you never consider... My studio is in an older house. I had the roof redone a few years ago, but neglected to redo the 'chicken wire' scuppers that allows airflow under the eaves. Unfortunately, now, each spring, a new set of birds tears into this and sets up a nest in...
