I think that should work fantastic for recording a whisper loud singer and a jet engine without touching the gain.

Curiosity got the best of me and ordered an Advanced Audio CM800T If you get a good one they can beat a Sony. The shootouts I did fooled 99%.

I just got my Heiserman HK47 pair delivered after a short wait. They look lovely. Gonna put ‘em up against the OG’s. I think they will do very well.

I bought a pair of Monoprice LR100 ribbon mics off the Monoprice eBay page. A pair was $77.50 before tax. It’s $40.79 for one. Hopefully at least 1 will be usable.

Broke down and finally bought a HDX card. Tired of stressing about HD Native giving me an error

I am HIGHLY suspect when they claim 157.6 dB (A) "converter dynamic range" --> even when A-weighted, if this number is for an audio product (let's assume noise is considered from 20 to 20kHz bandwidth only), and by "converter" they mean analog-to-digital conversion --> let's assume the A-weighting provides 3dB benefit compared to unweighted, so estimated unweighted dynamic range is 154.6 dB. We can estimate the equivalent "effective number of bits" (ENOB) of such a converter system from: Dynamic range = 6.02*N + 1.76 dB, where the N is the estimated ENOB of the system. With Dynamic range (unweighted) as 154.6 dB, we have an ENOB of ~25.4 bits. The Lavry Savitr ($8600 on Vintage King) states 126 dB Dynamic range (unweighted) for 44.1 kHz sample rate, for 20.64 ENOB. Not that price must correlate with specs, it often doesn't, but I'm just pointing out that 25.4 bits of true ENOB is basically a seismic leap for audio ADC field, makes me high skeptical of their specifications and/or definitions. I'd love to be wrong though! I guess I should point out, that true 24 bit performance would be dynamic range of 146.24 dB; I have yet to see any audio converter product claim that level of dynamic range even though we have "24 bit converters". Realistically, the 24 bit is the word size for each sample but the last few LSBs ("least-significant bits") of that data is typically just noise.

1976 Fender Princeton Reverb that appears to have been partially Boogied:
It has a master volume and a presence band added. Also a 12” boogie label Celestion and boogie labeled 6v6s.
Not normally a big boogie or mods guy, but I’m not changing a thing, this amps sounds great!

Wow, that looks really great. And for $269? Did you personalize yours?

No personalization. A great practice amp, however I can see studio use also.
Being MR.MOD I already replaced the speakers with a pair of 4" coaxial speakers. More high end but a little less volume.
SO, I ordered the 70 watt IC chip from Mouser. I'll have to see if I attempt the SMD world.

Both Control Rooms to Tracking Rooms are wired with CAT-6 Coax carring both audio, video and headphone feeds. Using HDMI to Cat-6, Cat-6 to HDMI converters for video feeds.

Stagetec is very innovative but I will have to see and measure its performance once it is in house here. SONOSAX R4+ has 135 dB dynamic range but that is with the mic amp turned all the way down. I have known about Stagetec True Match technology for more than 20 years. This new product puts that technology in a small box and one gets away with not having to buy one of their big consoles to have access to their designs.

I’m very curious to hear your thoughts on the Stagetec, the console has an almost mythical following among those who have had the chance to use it, think of it as the digital Gamble EX. I use the comparison because it is those same people who had always told me a Midas XL was a child’s toy next to a Gamble ( it is) have said the Stagetec is to the Digico what the Gamble is to an XL. I know you only have the pre but it all starts at the pre.

After tweaking a set of Clair 12AM inspired wedges (1in instead of 2in compression drivers) using EV 12’s ( as found in many 12AM’s and replacing the cheap Chinese 1in with Emilar, they really need a lot of DSP to sound their best so the owners considering buying my BSS Soundweb 9088iis’s because he’s broke and his DBX Driverack PA’s just don’t cut it. I’m taking a flyer on a Soundweb Blu80. Why well first more DSP horse power, better conversion, Cobranet ( have cards for the DM1000 & thinking E-snake), the ability to run both control and Cobranet over same cat5 plus IPAD app for control. I do like the idea of being able to run without going through an extra AD and DA plus if I like it as much as I prefer Analog Graphics the idea that I can have 4 graphics at FOH plus Parametrics and dynamics in 1 rack U and control it from anywhere via IPad I figure the only real dangers are I will want to upgrade to all new Blu 800’s with AES and better conversion at the AmP racks!

I'll be quite interested in hearing these. I'll make sure you get some clips, drumsound . But I won't subject you to any further photos. If I remember correctly, you're not a fan of the design or the creme/brass combo.
