A neighbor gave me a uher deluxe, which powers up and seems perfectly functional. It has, I believe a single motor but two heads and does 7.5. Its supposed to sound excellent and have very good w&f specs. I understand the capstan can be misshaped from non use and that belts should likely be replaced. I am curious about printing ( as hot as possible), my delta master stereo mix to the tape and then printing that in my logic session and seeing what happens when I basically do a dry/wet balance ? What tape should I be looking for ? Any thoughts ? View AttachmentSounds fun. Mixing them may end up a flangey chorused phaser war but I'd want to hear it.

thats really not what I would want. Thanks for the tip. Metric, Jcf or burl would be where I would go if I had to choose today. Others are interesting but not as promising. Lord knows I'd stay far away from apogee, although clocking with the burl seems to be where it's at for my setup. Counter-intuitive but seems to work smoother. You're not down with Apogee? What are you currently using? mk1 symphony's 40x40. Victim of apparently common drop outs due to buss error's. Before that loop sync errors and clocking issues. #nightmare apogee has been less than helpful.

I haven’t tried the Plus or Hd, but I had the Orion 32 (selling it now for a steal) and as much as I liked it for the value, the extra accumulation of high frequencies just worked against what I was trying to personally accomplish. Slightly harsh up high. Open, yes. But also a touch harsh in the highs for me. Still probably the best bang for the buck per channel though thats really not what I would want. Thanks for the tip.

Got it downloaded. Really nice. This and the fg are both very good. Not the biggest fan of the rest of slates comps.

This isn't showing up in my gobbler app to install. Weird.
+1 for the PA 2254 comp.

Maybe someday some genius could 'black box' what the tube did and does. Sorta like a Kemper for vacuum tubes. It's remarkable in 2018 with audio's pristine linearity, we ache for the sonorous euphonics of a less perfect era. Similarly with film and video. You don't want that huge image to be so crisp that it looks like the actors are in the room with you, do you? Soul isn't pristine or clinical. Soul can be messy and erratic.

Can someone explain to me how in this age of technology and knowledge, a tube can't be built that exceeds or at least matches a tube in performance that was made 75 years ago? Is it the materials that are no longer available or what?? desire/motivation. It's not a can't. It's a won't.

So far so good on the pop click front. I switched my master clock to the burl from my symphony's. I still get the drop outs. Logic continues to play but my symphony's go blank on the meters, wait 4 secs then come back. Hmmm

If your thinking Amphion 18's do give the ATC SCM20 and Quested H108 passives a listen as well, while neither will work as well as the Amphions in a small realativly untreated room like John's, that what a wave guide can do! The low Distortion of the ATC's or the realativly low Distortion and ability to go lower of the Quested Volt 8 is very different from that of the Amphion. Though load differently 2 of those Same model Volts had my neighbor searching for the sub here on Monday because he couldn't believe "the 2 little 8's per side killed his 12in sub & with only 50 watts" running the little Quested amp because somebody offered me way to much for my JW modded GFA555, time to buy another one have Jim Mod it and have some cash, plus a freind is impressing his Audiofile boss with the Krell this weekend! My small, relatively untreated room is turning out some damn good mixes. good ears man!

Stupid question number 1. If you convert the tube, to Fet... is it now similar to the 47fet? Assuming K47 capsule cheers Wiz no. And yes. Technically it won't have a tube like a u47. However, the electronics are different in the fet47 than a u47. And this particular fet is designed to emulate a tube. The fet47 is not trying to emulate a tube circuit.

Thanks everyone. I will be attempting some trials this evening.
Also I'm in logic btw. My symphony's also give me loop sync errors sometimes and reset. Total fing disaster. I'm not gonna stop till I find the culprit.

Maybe it's just my conversion. 2 Mk1 symphony thunderbridge Mac Pro. I fight intermitant pops and clicks more often than I should. I h e tried running my audio files for projects/ and or the entire project folder on an external tb raid array and I get disk too slow errors constantly too. So I just end up using my system drive. Both of these practices have been pointed at for my pop and click issue. By apogee and other engineers when troubleshooting. What kind of disks are in your array? Also, if I recall correctly (it's been some time since I messed around with RAID much) some types of RAID array are actually slower than the individual disks depending on the type of redundancy involved. Some Raid optimized for speed but some optimized for data security? I imagine somebody around here is more up to date than me. 2 7200 rpm 2tb TB2 configured in raid0 (for speed)

I print back through a burl bomber sometimes. Same thing. Buffer size doesn't cure what haunts me.

You can find a real ac701k for less than that.

Been thinking about getting one of these as my master recorder. I have heard time and time again you shouldn't record into the same computer you are bouncing from. I can say it has caused me some issues so I'm willing to bite the bullet here. Besides an atr-102 I wonder if this is still the best option available.

Just got this in my email from RMS Audioworks. Interesting... they are solid state fet replacements.
