Latest gear you've acquired.....

. . .because there's maybe one YouTube personality in the whole world who knows how to use a low-cut filter.

new pair of Avantone CLA-10A limited edition speakers. Active, Brown Veneer. Funky.

those do look cool - I'd be interested how they work out for you...

Been listening to these for over a week now, they really are good. Less low end, and more midrange, just like the originals. Which is fantastic, since we are still dealing with small speakers and earpieces and headphones at the user end of the music. I still will be using the JBL 4328P to listen to the bottom end and for a different sense of the mixes.

DAV two-channel preamp. I’m pretty late to the party on these. They’re awesome. Clear but a little bit rounded up top.

Back on the board after 7 or 8 years absence and this thread i started midway through 2007 is still going !!
Anyway i recently got a pair of AML Ez1073 500 series to go with the pair of AML 54F50 comps.

Ex-pats coming home!

I haven’t heard about these before. How do they sound? I ask because looks like you can buy the 1081 in kit form from them for about $666, which is the magic number.

Edit: although looking at the build sheets, there are so many components so tightly packed together; seems like pre-built is a no brainer for these considering the finished price isn’t that much more.

Since the currently dominant social media platforms are starting to look like creepy abandoned shopping malls... I'm not surprised we're all wandering back to the friendly TOMB.

I don't have those particular modules but I do have a preamp from AML (or Audio Maintenance Ltd - in the UK) - I've the 5003D, which is not made anymore and it's fantastic sounding. It was prebuilt (and only sold that way). I've been tempted build some of the kits but don't have any more empty slots. Anyway, there are couple older Tape Op Gear Reviews of some of the other AML stuff.

This has always been the only "social media" that didn't cause me to drink even more and hate humanity.

I've been wanting to get some of the drop-in AML preamps for my Amek BCII.

Just read the reviews on the AML stuff, sounds really nice and I love that it started as a DIY project.

Dammit, I think I’m starting to remember why I left the TOMB. . .

Seriously through, I quit Facebook in like 2015 and never joined anything else. I occasionally browse through Reddit. But honestly this board is the only one I really spent a legitimate bit of time on. And you are right trodden, this is the only one that I always felt better after reading it.

Another returner here! My latest acquisition is a WORKING display for my Juno G, which apparently people other than Roland are now manufacturing on their own. Mine's the same size as the original, is backlit, and works absolutely perfectly. If anyone else needs to fix theirs, i got mine at InstrumentalParts.com. There's a trick to installing it too - gotta pry off a tiny unnecessary circuit board near the opening first.

For those who may not remember, the Juno G was a great Fantom-based workstation which had a dreadful problem with their displays becoming utterly unusable (which Roland originally finally issued replacements for, but those were also not great, and they never made enough to go around), so many of us have had non-working Junos gathering dust for close to 2 decades now.

I have an ancient, busted 106 too, but the G really is good enough to not worry about that one for a while longer.

I have a friend doing stuff like that - last I saw he had a modern power supply for the Emulator II, some kind of memory retrofit for a lot of synths that doesn't need a leaky backup battery, etc. Also he was getting retrofit sliders for Arp gear from somewhere.

I gotta site where a small number of international/foreigner friends post (currently Scotland, England, and Texas).

This is by far the best, and thus my only, regular music haunt; others exist for me only for technical references.

(My other "pleasure" hang izza political site.)

Technically, we Texans are not yet international or foreigners. But someone is always talking seccession, so who knows what's in store...

I was married to a Texan for a half a minute.

I seldom speak her name.
