sytek pres, acoustic 270 amp, motu828mk2 in brooklyn

Sytek 4 channel preamp. $400 SOLD Burr Browns on all channels (but I have the 5534s for the other 2 if you want them) Why so cheap? One channel doesn't work. The peak light stays on and it doesn't pass audio. The problem isn't the opamps. I had spares and tried swapping them. So basically this is a ...

So this noise just disappeared for a couple days after my last post. The came back for the last hour yesterday. Then gone today. Nothing different in the studio that I can notice. And that monitor is on the side of the building with no neighbors. Just a huge lot behind it with nothing going on. Just...

Well, I was trying to see if my console psu was affecting the noise and I noticed I could almost totally kill the noise by standing on the right side of it. And it's not affected by my gear...it's there with everything else powered off. Later I'll try moving the speaker but my guess is the noise mig...

Much better for drying time and unlike it better for cleaning circuit boards. But like I said it doesn't lubricate so you would have to use the lubricant too. But way way more cost effective than d5 for big jobs. I would have spent literally 150-200 more doing my console with deoxit, but that was a ...

I haven't pulled the amps yet but I do have a scope. I might not be able to get to this for a day or two. If I do have big caps on the output, would you change those? I have tons of spare panasonics

That CRC contact cleaner has no lubricant in it, so it's great for cleaning. They have a lubricant too in a small can to use for things like that. That said I do use fader lube for all my faders...just trying to make sure I play it safe with that.

Home Depot has CRC contact cleaner. Comes in a big can about six times the size of the deoxit for about $10. Great stuff. Use it all the time. Don't buy the Lectraclean if they don't have the contact cleaner. Used tons of this stuff recapping my console. This and a toothbrush can clean the crap out ...

I'm pretty sure these do use switching power suppies and I thought that could be the case. What do you mean exactly by grounding the input? The input is balanced, but i don't think that's what you mean.

Monitor problem...ringing at 4k

I have a pair of the original krk E8 speakers with Teflon tweeters. Two days ago I noticed a low level whine at 4k in the right speaker. At normal monitoring levels it's imperceptible, so it's not very loud. But obviously I want this gone. Any ideas of what to check? The monitors are powered, and th...
