That Rhodes takes me right back to high-school jazz ensemble! Same exact model. Takes me back to a broken foot, and several broken toes. Those things are heavy.

Early morning “low ball” offer on an Upton 251 was accepted…so…incoming!
I might need to sell a few things to justify this purchase…

Last week I picked up a Wes Audio LC-EQP and a Stellar CM5 (now I’ve got a pair).
The CM5 pair just got used as overheads, and I’m very pleased!
The EQP is helping shape the bass in the mix for the same session. Brilliant that you can cut and boost at different freqs.

AKG C422 incoming. Probably broken I have a C422 and a C426. They are complicated. If it's broken make sure you find someone who really works on AKG's. I highly recommend Michael Amon but he is in Austria.
Hi Tim I got the microphone today and it sounds nice but as described in the sale one of the capsule has a bit less end. Not a total lack, but definitely a difference below 100Hz or so...sort of like the 75Hz high pass filter is engaged on a regular 414. Is there anything internal in the microphone that might cause this? Like a filter switch or capacitor or something. I'll likely take it to Richard Land or my friend Preston White at PTW Audio but figured I'd pick your brain since you're familiar with them. Cheers!

I'm sorry, this might not work out. <kidding> It was still more money than I should have sensibly spent, but at 7:30 in the morning I don’t think straight and my impulses get the best of me. But, I think I need to downsize my outboard and maybe part way with some of my “it’s a great microphone but when’s the last time I used it?” stuff. Pretty much just want to track down a decent pair of KM86’s and I’ll probably be set for a long time (bluegrassers love both of those) Except for maybe a good U47/U48 microphone 😆

Hey Ward, nice rug under that big black wooden thing in the second pic! (Seriously though, what's the piano, and where'd you find it?)

I ordered an Alder Audio H44 ribbon mic. Looking for a slightly different flavor (and size) to the AEA R84A I have.

As you may already know... The Samar AL-95 is an amazing value too. Chris

Hey Ward, nice rug under that big black wooden thing in the second pic! (Seriously though, what's the piano, and where'd you find it?) 1991 Yamaha concert grand. Not flawless (needs some buffing) but the sound is INSANE and playability is amazing. The local 'Brethren' church bought out another church and since they only allow congregational singing without accompaniment in the church, they decided to sell it for much less than market value. My 1st ex-wife's cousin was in charge of the sale and gave me an advantage I needed. Bless her heart

Picked up two of the new Heiders from CAPI (prebuilt). Gorgeous in person. Can't wait to try them out.

Didn’t realize the new version is a single-module… Tempting!

Coles 4038's are awesome until the player gets too dense or busy. Especially beautiful on open stuff. The Joly modded 205's are also excellent. Better than the Coles for me - you'll hear what I'm talking about in that link. The AEA's didn't do it for me. I would not choose vintage RCA's. I would guess the Samar's would be awesome.

Don’t sleep on the thought of using a pair of sdc with omni caps. I favor the Schoeps personally. I can send you a pic of how I place them if I can find one. Killer purchase btw!!
