I wouldn't bother with the voltage regulator unless your power utility has frequent problems with brownouts/fluctuations in voltage. Even then, I'd spend money on a UPS before I'd buy a voltage regulator. Just my two cents...

The 112 is 2-head, has no vari-speed and has RCA and 1/4 inch ins and RCA outs. I love mine; it's built like a tank and requires no maintenance.

+1 on the VLA and FMR. And if you can't admit on the TapeOp forum that you also like your Behringer MDX2600, where can you admit it? Not that I'm admitting that I have one or that I like it...

If nothing else, this forum has made me feel better about my own personal grooming...

I've been playing around with returning all my reverbs (mostly springs) in mono dead up the centre and have been kind of digging the feel it gives some mixes. It seems to make hard-panned instruments a bit less muddy and lends a sort of vintage sound to the mixes. I'm just curious about other people...

Thanks! I live in the village of Lunenburg; it's a bit like living in a postcard. In a good way, that is...

I've got the ART and I'm quite happy with it. I find it very versatile between the selectable plate voltage and input impedance, and I like the way it makes all my (cheap) mics sound. And I like that it's rack mountable as it gives me one more opportunity to use the word "rack" in a sentence.

Thanks for the replys! It looks like the trick now will be to find one of those two as eBay is coming up dry...

Hullo all! I'm looking for a cheap hardware de-esser (rackmount preferred) and am wondering if anyone can recommend anything. If not, maybe someone can recommend a good plastic surgeon in the Lunenburg area who could make me less spitty...

+1 on the Tascam VL-X5s...

Just picked up some Tascam VL-X5s, so far I love them... Hard to believe they can sell these for $350CAN.

Pioneer SR-202; love that sproingy reverb...

I own a Tascam 112MKII and the thing's built like a tank. I don't know how it compares to some other high-end units, but you can use it day-in, day-out with consistent results and no fear of break-downs.
