The 'stache will give me an edge, no doubt!

Man, I would t take dwlb out for the SA article, but the Neve article may make me warm up the gas gussler and take a trip.

Do you have a basement? Its hard to get them to growl at a real low vol, and I like to get them up and interacting with the room a bit.

I would plug it in and start at the lowest vol and work my way up. Until... you get the sound you want, or the cops show up.

Ya have to ta do it every 6 moths.

Crap, I think my sub expired. I set reminders for this all the time, but I didnt this round.

If I renew now will I get this issue?

I wish TO would send out an email to remind us that its time to renew.

Welcome to the board. Re-capping is replacing all the capacitors in a piece of equipment that tend to degrade over time, mostly the electrolytics. When they go bad in the powersupply, you get bad ripply DC that leads to 60Hz hum. If they go bad and are in the signal chain various other issues occur...

I'm swapping the 2-prong power cable out for a 3-prong and hopefully doing this: http://www.unclespot.com/3prongconversion.JPG ,,, to give it a safer design as discussed on this: http://messageboard.tapeop.com/viewtopic.php?t=68798&highlight=airline+amp+cap thread. I'm no stranger to a soldering ir...

According to the manual:

Pin 2 is tied to ground right at the socket. I would cut this loose and wire a pot in there. Should be pretty easy.

On that model the pre is remoted and there are wires running to the board. A top view may be best, and if you can figure out which one goes to pin 2 of the pre that will help.

So would the Shure Inline Pad work just as well? Yes it will prob work, just trying to give you some options to adjust your gain staging. Totally. Appreciated. That said do you have any pictures of doing that mod with pin2? I like the idea of wiring it to the other unused pot in the 1589. I guess I...

I would prob confront the dude, and not duke it out on the interweb.

Insert large post about "you need to back your shit up" here.

I would plug the HD into a working computer and backup the data ASAP.

Hi RodC. You posted as I was writing mine. Great idea on the 1588B mod, especially if you only use one channel on these. You can use the pot position of the second channel as the trim pot. I think they both have pin 2 labeled as "Gain Select" They expected you to put a different resistor to ground ...
