"gunshyboy"i've only really run 457 on mine, but as long as it's 1 mil thick, it should be good. when i first got mine i was lucky enough to find a tech close by to calibrate it and clean it up. he's since gone out of business, so i've been becoming very familiar with the maintainence part of the m...

I have to agree with that description "better than a 246, not quite a 38". My 388 and MSR-16 1/2" sound very similar though, the MSR having more low and high end response.

The thing is dead mint (pre shipment that is :roll: ) The original owner bought the last unopened box the store had in 1989. He brought it home, tried ...

Has a sound of its own. Doesn't sound like a 2" pro tape recorder but who cares? It's a cool piece of gear. How would you describe it's sound? Does it have a sonic signature? excellent question shedshrine! Yeah, describe it's sound. I mean this thread already has the killer Darfking photo, and the ...

Same thing happened to me. I had just finished the JFET, and fired it up. No juice past the fuse. I thought I'd somehow melted plastic over a contact or what have you, and the fuse looked fine.
