Pair of LC25's Avalon 2055 Lynx Aurora 16 N About 7k in impulse buying about to go down if I'm not careful (and I'm definitely not careful)
This actually isnt impulse buying I guess I've thought quite a bit about these pieces *shrug*

I really love my Lynx Aurora (n) 32. Excellent customer service at Lynx as well.

I really love my Lynx Aurora (n) 32. Excellent customer service at Lynx as well. I'm wondering if I should get the 16 or save up for the 32. I definitely will want the more channels in the future but was thinking the 16N from my Apollo X8 would be enough of an upgrade for now.
Can you buy the extra analog channels as extensions to get to 32 if you buy the 16N?

You could buy a second 16 channels in a separate unit. I'd save for the 32. Look for a demo deal, maybe. I moved from 2 16 1st Gen Aurora to 1U 32 channel. My DAW likes it better. No more Lynx 2 Record/Play and doing the math on which channel I'm actually on. The detail and soundstage of the (n) is really quite good and represents an improvement over 1st generation Aurora.

Also managed not to impulse buy a Cranborne Camden mic pre. I really want one but it's not a burning issue right now.

Chandler Limited RS 124 ... Only reason I haven’t gone for it is I have no free rack space.
For the moment feeding my habit by continuing to fill out my new 500 series rack with pres... I have 11 HW pres ... when I get to 16 my excuses run out :-)
The idea of the RS124 is to match with tube mics (SA-47 and AR-51) and also get a tube mid-EQ to have a premium vocal chain front end. The tube EQ is likely to be 3U aswell ... so need to find 5-6U of space somewhere!

I'm listening hard and my theremin antenna seems to pick up something like Noo, it's a very nice preamp, you need one ..two...fourrr of themmmm.

Good thing there expensive, bad news wife said get it ! We’ll see !?!?!?!! To be continued I am fortunate to have one of those. She gave me an HD 28 as a thanks for relocating to Texas present a few years ago. She hasn’t blinked or furrowed her brow over any gear purchase either. EDITED to add: An understanding wife is what I have. I don’t even know what an Airfield Liminator 2 is.

This thread should just be titled "The Latest Impulse Buy I Made".
Because very few here seem to have resisted the urge.
Myself included. I just got a great deal on a Vintech 473. Some may not consider the Vintech stuff to be super sexy, but I like their stuff quite a bit. I've been wanting some more Neve clone channels for drums, so I couldn't resist.
Speaking of which, who here likes the basic eq on the 473 and what do you like to use it for?

I bought 2 pieces of hardware on impulse last year, like $300. That's a first. There are a couple mic deals I'm trying to avoid.

The reality is, we're all just trying to convince ourselves through some type of feel-good confession to fellow RGOers that we are gallantly fending off our GAS. When the only resistance we feel is the click of the mouse button right after posting to this thread, as we complete the purchase of what was already in our shopping cart.

When the only resistance we feel is the click of the mouse button right after posting to this thread, as we complete the purchase of what was already in our shopping cart. This is the truth. Maybe what I should do is actually list what gear I have, what I hope to accomplish, and then let people make suggestions as to what would be logical to get next. The problem though is that the membership here is seasoned, experienced, and knows what it’s doing. RGO would most like tell me to stop buying shit and learn how to use what I have. That would make me sad.

I ordered a weight tank comp, but it seemed that it would take a month or two or even longer to actually get it so I canceled. Maybe that was a mistake...? Lol
That, a Coil Ca70 and Cranborne adat500 are sitting in the shopping cart just waiting for an excuse to get one.

Oh yeah, I did buy an interesting Milab/Pearl mic last year on impulse, but it had problems and went back.
Today I bought a super clean Altec 436C, sitting in a local store(!), someone told me about it 3 days ago and I let it have plenty of time to escape before I checked on it......probably shouldn't keep it.....do EMI mods? Sigh....fail....

I want the big Izotope bundle, haha. I don't want no gawd dang subscription model. Might do it but gotta think on it. There's things in there that would help me immediately.

Does anyone know a plugin you can buy that gives you that great warm ADAT tape sound from the 90s?
