OSA gear

Post by McPhaul » Mon Jan 24, 2005 4:35 pm

Yea... My OSA pre got here today.

Now for the bummer.

The power supply is still a couple of days out. Nathan was up front about this. He had the Rack and Pre in stock but the power supply was on back order from OSA. We waited and waited on shipping the thing so they could both get here together but he finaly had OSA ship direct the power supply and he sent what he had in stock. So I knew this could happen. (ie not his fault)

Build quality looks good. One of the other gear related boards was panning OSA on build quality, but this looks good.

I'll let you know about the sound once I can power it up.

The build quality on mine is good too. Solid and clean. Perhaps some of the earlier ones weren't up to snuff or whatever, but no complaints here. I reexamined mine after reading the comments criticizing their quality and didn't find anything questionable, much less shitty. Sounds real nice too.

How long have you had yours and what model or models do you have?

Good to know that even 2 years ago the build quality was better than what I have read elsewhere. I bought the C model and hope to buy a second next month. Not sure if a 3rd will come after or an API 550A. Have you added anything else to your lunchbox?

I have the MP-1L in my rack. It is an older one with out the gain control on the input and output. I love it. It is great for bass DI and vocals with an SM-7! I also tracked a kick with my U195. It worked out great.
