Yeah, I had two of those too. Sold one because it didn't work with transformer balanced pre's. They sound great on anything! Mono drum overhead is nice, bass cab...Bryantx512 wrote:I got an Earthworks M30 for $375. Looks brand new. I got it for measurement, but it sounds really nice on my cheapie acoustic.

Yeah it sure was! I've been playing through it all night and it's so smooth, the reverb sounds amazing and vintage, and the clean tone is very Fender minus some sparkle, which is just what I need since I have a few guitars with overly bright pickups. I thought the guy just plugged me into it so I could hear how it sounds, since I've never actually seen one on person! Turns out he was ridiculously generous. I had a feeling it was one of those unspoken "I know that this isn't the best deal for me but I want to pass this on to someone who can use it right" kind of things. I never would expect someone who's about to lose a vintage ampeg to compliment me on my guitar playing, talk about generous. It helps that he was a bass player so he doesn't have a use for the amp

I got over my bad self and bought a narrow track machine: an Otari MX-5050 MKIII 8 track. Cost all of $100 plus twice that to ship it across country. It arrived undamaged yesterday. The one thing I'm waiting for is a replacement pinch roller, which will be here Monday. At that point I can put some tape on it and begin to check it out. Fortunately, when I sold my M-79 4-track, I held onto my 1/2" MRL and my stock of EMTEC tape, so I'm ready to get in and get it going. Looks generally just fine, though the transport has seen a fair amount of use. The heads have wear, but the gaps are not worn through and the wear pattern looks pretty close to even, so I'm optimistic that it can run for a bit without a relap. We shall see next week!
Cheers,
Otto

They are SO quiet. Isn't it crazy when you look at your meters and there is no sound coming through at all, and you figure "Aw crap, maybe I plugged the cables in wrong" and then dude hits a snare drum and the meter shoots up and those fast transients smack you. Sytek rules. I am excited to get more API stuff but I've never recorded anything on Sytek where the preamp was the problem.
