I just placed an order on an Audioscape Opto. When I pulled up one of their emails I hit the link and found that they actually had one available after going through the same routine for over a year. I was startled for a moment there and when I came out of it hit the buy button. The hit of an extra $150 for shipping to Switzerland hurt but I'm sure that it will be worth it. I've boxed the horrid sounding KT-2A that I bought used after trying to get it to not suck the life out of anything that I put through it's circuits. I'm not quite sure that it would be karmically beneficial to try to sell it. I changed the tubes out and it made but a small incremental difference so maybe I'll just pass it on to the local Goodwill. I sold the replacement tubes and the originals are back in. I'm looking forward to putting it in my rack.

Well I couldn't resist. Saw an M49b on Sweden's "Craigslist" at a great price and bought it! Extremely good condition 9/10. PSU, cables and swivel looks almost NOS. Never seen such a clean PSU. And.. believe it or not a working M7 capsule in good condition.

Bob Katz inspired 2-bus saturation unit, fitted with Western Electric REP 111C and UTC A-20. This looked interesting, the guy from Vandaal Electronic makes top-notch gear (excellent build quality), the Bob Katz concept makes sense, & I love transformers... So of course I ordered one : How are you digging this? I have some A-20's and Triad HS series transformers floating around that this looks like it'd be a great home for. Or at least better than just having them setup with pigtails.

Totally off topic… but anyone know how to contact plinker? He’s been absent for a bit, and I’m curious about his item for sale in classifieds. I’m friends with him on FB. If you’re still looking for him, I can DM him there for ya.

oh this thing sounds so sultry sweet! 32 hz never sounded so good. I gotta subject it to some frequency response investigations, not sure where the lustrous lusciousness is coming from. Maybe it's pre ringing and I just love that in analog domain on some material? Such an enigma!

Wow, what kind of bass are you running through it? Was just listening back to a session tracked with a couple different Jazz basses through the KT-2A and admiring its grip on the bottom. Unless you're talking about recording something besides bass through it, which I can't say I've found worth doing.

Maybe it's pre ringing and I just love that in analog domain on some material? Such an enigma! Everyone should have at least 1 old IRP or White rotary Graphic in their rack, not just because all those knobs look cool. Every once in a while they are just the perfect EQ, and because every MI dealer thinks faders means better EQ they can be found dirt cheap, it always suprises me how often I would walk into an old church that had sounded pretty good all things considered to find it sounded like crap because someone had decided a Behringer or Cheap DBX Graphic was an upgrade, it never was.

Until I recieve the Audioscape an instance of Fabfilter Pro-C in Opto Style into a pinch of Saturn in sidechain will have do for me. The KT-2A is already boxed up and ready to find a new home with a new family.

Just doing finishing touches so I ordered a Focusrite ISA and Beyerdynamic M160, classic guitar cab combo to slap on my new Marshall.
I have literally one stereo slot available in both rack and Carbon inputs, going to get an Elysia Xpressor Nu (yeah the new one) me thinks. So I'll order that on Monday.. I know I keep saying it but that literally is IT. There's no space left, nothing.. Nada, no dice.
Oh and I ordered a DW double bass pedal, I thought a single pedal would do but you just can't take the metal out of me apparently.

My latest gear acquisition was a pair of Beesneez B67-269s—I liked them so much I bought third, and I think I’ll be getting at least one more. Presently my favorite mic!

I got a usb cable for my Casio electronic piano. Whoopee. But only after I lugged it upstairs to where the computer is and discovered it doesn’t take the midi cables I ordered for it. D’oh!
Cheers , Geoff

This thread has been pretty quiet lately, so I'll make a little noise. I picked up the Trinnov NOVA. I've used ARC and Sonarworks, and this is definately giving superior results, but of course at a more expensive price. Its also nice to have it correct all audio coming through the computer ("systemwide") that actually works. I send an ADAT digital out from a MOTU 16a into the Trinnov, and then the Trinnov into the active monitors. Works well.

Cheers , Geoff Sometimes, the little things are most satisfying! Er, I suppose. I finally figured out how to route the Logic I/O with my Antelope interface was pulling my hair out just about. When I finally got it sorted it was duh, that makes perfect sense. Cheers, Geoff

I just purchased a Fender '68 Custom Deluxe Reverb, which should be here by the end of the week. I've been using my Vox AC15, which is great, but I've been looking to compliment it with some Fender tones, so this should be fun.
