2 Gs for two LA3as isn't bad considering The current licensees of the UA name charge over $3 Gs for two of their LA3a recreations. And you all know the audioscape is going sound like Bill Putnam Sr was in the room . . . and still be an upgrade over the original! wow.

If I could get away with just having studio based around something like this with a handful of ribbons, dynamics, a few German tube mics, and maybe a couple pultecs and a nice limiter I would sell everything else in a heartbeat. sounds just like my place! except the nice limiter. BG!?

Ampex 440b to tube console line gain to Burl That should get the job done! What tube console options are you on? Something like a Tree Audio? It’s old and custom. 6 channels. Nothing fancy as the Tree. your pic of Studio Umiliani is awesome to see!

Ns10s and a mono Altec 604/612/1569 combo.
Should I try this emotiva on the ns10s? Always happy to try diff amps on them.
There’s also some 8” active JBLs but not really for mixing on.

Is there a Pultec style stereo eq out there with one set of controls for both channels?

I think that comes down to how it looks, and if it has a pedigree. “This console was used on xx record” is a nice pitch. My 9200A was used on the first Cheech and Chong record and some of the first Bad Brains stuff. I smell a trend....no really, take that outside dude..... It looks amazing, but I don't see it being a client draw. Honestly I have no idea what is a client draw other than good results they can relate to, they're all different in perspective and knowledge. Most of them don't know what anything is outside of an SM57. It's like the 'tape, mannnn' era. Tape, any kind of tape, was a 'draw' that would sway people, and they'd go record on a 1/4" fostex cassette 8 track over 'that evil digital', even pay more for it, and make a shitty sounding record. She’s a gem. Would trade my vehicle for it.

Doug, you're using the MOTU rig for headphone mixes and your control room mix? That's the other option that I'm weighing, but nervous because I'm so used to doing all that stuff right on the board. I was, but it's a pain. Sometimes if I need a larger monitor mix count. I added a splitter patchbay and now have a parallel path into a Mackie for monitor mixes. Literally use nothing other than faders and pans. My ideal console for that would be maybe 12-18 inches deep, faders, pans, sends. Sweepable HPF would be a luxury. I've got this Altec 9200A sitting around waiting for me to restore it. I wouldn't be surprised if someone offers me a 'no refusing' amount for it before I ever get it going. It LOOKS amazing, not sure how truly useful it will prove to be as a full service console. It could do a single monitor mix.....the 8 channels with EQ are the premium part, but it's a hell of a lot of footprint for 8 channels of EQ. Would love a look at that Altec.

I've been talking with Bryce (really cool guy by the way) and am going to demo the BG1 as well as a pair of BG2's this coming week or next. I'm hoping the BG1 scratches all itches as I'd love to have stereo and save a bit of coin. Do tell once you have had some time with them

the 2 in the name is to signify that it is capable of two tones, if I remember correctly. RCABA6A and RS124. Im hoping to get the stereo model later this year.

Another stereo compressor that has caught my attention this year is the Highland Dynamics BG1 Limited reissue. $3500 doesn’t sound bad considering a mono BG2 is like $2800. I’ve been eyeing the retro revolver all year but this has just bumped it down a notch. This year I’ve compiled a great rack of Altec gear. The preamps, eqs and compressors. Even the mics and 612s. But I haven’t found a suitable Altec stereo bus compressor to hit prior to tape. This BG has got me thinking it’s the one.
