Ward I honestly think this is the reason why most guys on this forum don't like much modern music. No one can take the dissonance, which in this case is timbral. The best two "rock" bands I can think of at the moment (Dirty Projectors and Department of Eagles) employ leaps of it to counter the spoon fed garbage that is everywhere else these days. Y'all need to study up on some Monk! *however* this was a Steve Albini production and I think he did a hack job on the vocals across the record. They just sound harsh and strangely compressed. To each his own tho, agreed. She is definitely an acquired taste and not for everyone. But please scope this last track before you write her off. It's just so refreshing to hear a release where there is no pitch correction, no squashing, and no computers but actual players with INSTRUMENTS !! WHY IS THIS THE EXCEPTION TODAY?!

Ok, got my pair ready mid week but had very limited time for calibration and testing. Got some shrill scratchy noise from one of the units when HF was set to bell (instead of shelf). Had some more time today to double check calibration and got a few tips on that HF bell issue from David of Don Classics, but today the noise was gone. I really tried to get that noise back but failed, so I guess I'm good And as many others have said, these eqs are powerful! Wow, good stuff.. Noticed there are no pics of 'em in this thread so I think it' time! Really solid looking builds. Let us know how you like these when you get a chance to check them out!

Got this pic from my friend who is renting my two preamp 500 racks for an orchestral recording this week, so I just threw in all 500 pres I have. He was very happy with the sound of the NV73s. So not only for rocknroll I'll have to keep hatching them!.. How do you like that PMV70X? I've been interested in the OV560.

I just picked up a Teac 16-85 earlier this year for $400 from the owner of Nady. Took a huge leap of faith on it as there was no tape to test it with but he said if I had any issues I could bring it back for a full refund. Heads looked good so I figured why not. 4 channels ended up being fried but the other 12 sound great. NR was shot so its only useful for certain things but I've already picked up 3 session just for having it around.

I've had my eye on this build for a while, too. Wonder how it sounds for vox and bass... Don't think I can justify the cost of doing a stereo build for close to 2k without variable attack times

imgur.com/TEYO9dfSmall fries compared to the others on here but it's growing. In the middle of building 2 nv73s and the ssl 4k5 pre who's faceplate is in there as a place holder.

Yes, today we celebrate the birth of X (He who must not be named on His day). There will be people going to church buildings to worship X and you will hear many songs about X, many sung by Xians. So have a lovely Xmas and remember, kids: Keep X in Xmas. Lol wow man stay classy

LOVE the sb4000 I built, although I find myself using it less these days on the 2buss. The VP28s seem to be doing enough compression as it is. Realllly kills on the drum buss though. Can't comment on the gssl, but i've been thinking of making one on the cheap for bkgrd vox/verb processing...

God his promo videos are so painful. I can't help but laugh as soon as he goes into his "fully analog modeled digital circuit paths". Sounds like another useless plug by him. WHERE IS THE BLUE FACE 1176? ??

Rad idea! Pen me in please. Perfect timing, I'm in the market for a 500 series eq. Was thinking CAPI but this guy sparks my interest.
