"tip" as in advice, in case you thought I meant a special cleaning swab tip thing. I was told you want to use alcohol with the least amount of water.(so scotch and soda is out :D ) I believe it's called anahydrous (sp?) ...but US Recording has stuff they say is even better, as it dissolves away the ...

"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...

Love the gear, love the site, and hey, we as a people rock :D http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c48/shedshrine/IMG_8197_1_1.jpg Back to the 388 if ...

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.

let's hope it remains apsatively mint when it arrives. i recently sold my 388 (very reluctantly) and the shipping company messed it up pretty good. 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. I finally put in a radio shack fuse holder to try again. No change. Turns out the fuse WAS bad, even thoug...
