I think the conventional wisdom about doing upgrades on one channel and then listening to whether there's enough improvement to justify the whole thing is a good idea. As for op amps, the 2134 is nice-sounding IMHO. But you may hear significant difference with that only at the inputs, gain stages, a...

Realistic 31-1987 or 31-1988 five-band graphics are all-discrete, all-inductor, and not mythical at all--I've got both. Never paid more than 20 bucks a piece. Fairly broad Q, nice and chunky in the lows and mids. Definitely colored, but musical. I replaced the EQ caps, built-up the power-supply a bi...

I already own a hammer and it didn't cost $25 either. I think I'll be passing audio signal through my microphone. Post the birdhouse picture when your done though. Sounds like fun. :wink: On my budget, it was either the hammer or the mic. The thinking was, can't pass audio through a hammer (usually...

Got mine for $25 at a flea market. Serial #8436, Buchanan, Michigan. Building a birdhouse with it at the moment. . . .

On Monday April 30th, approximately 2:00pm, the following items were among those stolen from my bandmate's house in Whittier, California: Aria Pro II electric guitar, dark red, mid-1980s Danelectro electric bass, sparkle blue, early 2000 Danelectro twelve-string electric, white, mid-2000s Please con...

I love dynamics! Natural-sounding and indestructible too. I'm tracking whole tunes with nothing but an EV RE-55 through a VMP-2. Sounds good on bass and guit cabs, acoustic guitar, percussion, vocals, wherever you point it. . . . Electrovoice needs to reissue that mic!

I have some of those gray isolation headphones (without the speakers) and plan to put these speakers in them: http://www.mouser.com/index.cfm?handler=displayproduct&lstdispproductid=281836 Part number 25SP500. It's an Alnico magnet 600ohm speaker with a claimed 20-20K frequency response, $5.14 each....

Funny thread. I don't know anything aboyt the RS 7-band, but the RS 5-band model 31-1987 is pretty sweet. All-discrete, all inductor, not an op-amp or gyrator in sight. Bump up the power-supply caps and put film caps in the signal path, and it's one friendly-sounding EQ. Cost me about the same as di...
