I have a question for all of you gear addicts on this forum! I'm about to buy a nord electro 3,4 or possibly 5 for a good friend of mine as a birthday present, but I can't decide which dealer I should go with.. Obviously, I wish to save as much coin as possible as I have already spent a fortune on holiday gifts etc but I also need to make sure that the dealer is trustworthy and has a sense of responsibility (I have seen some dealers abandoning their customer and turning a blind eye on them once they have sold a product). Any recommendations? Any recommendations? Oh.. and how much does nord electro serieses go for nowadays? I need a friend like you. Yeah I know.. I need a friend like me too

Yes. It really boils down to preference. Much like anything else in life, there are pros and cons of each style of DAC. (BTW, multibit doesn't really mean anything as ANY DAC can be multibit.) R/2R DACs are kinda trendy right now in the audiophile world, but ultimately do the same job as Sigma/delta DACs. In fact, the general usage of R/2R DACs in just about every other situation has died in favor of delta/sigma. Delta/sigma has better specs in nearly all areas of performance, especially linearity, due to the matching of the resistor networks needed for R/2R. Delta/Sigma is also cheaper as the ladders are hard to make. But in terms of euphonics, the non-linearities that arise from the ladder switching and matching might please some folks, as they induce harmonic distortions similar to those of tubes. Personally, I would buy whatever floats your boat, but professionally I would go with Delta/Sigma every time, and I have in my DAC design. Thank you for sharing your knowledge svart. Then I guess these are designed to meet the needs of a consumer market rather than producers/engineers working in a professional environment.. somewhat disappointed but at least, I've learned something new!

IMO, and generally speaking, subs are best used switching in and out, they will wear you out with extended use, success with them is also completely dependant on the quality of your room, uneven freq response, with low ceilings usually lead to nulls and modes throughout the sub range, the best way to deal with that cheaply is to buy 2 subs and flank them L/R to smooth the response by fill firing from different positions, my room here has a very smooth freq response, nary a hot spot, but i will be switching a sub in and out more for personal listening fun, than for mixing. Hope this is somehow useful. It is very helpful insight Mr tony and thank you for sharing your thought with me. So I guess subwoofer should only be used to check the subs of your mix from time to time and be left off for most of the time..

SPL measuring eh? Where may I find the instruction? I will need to find some time to sit down and have a look through some articles about subwoofer installation.. I'm thinking about getting www.eve-audio.com/index.php?page=TS110 since it can be controlled from a distance with a remote controller and I think it's reasonably priced.. or is it?

So... after reading a few posts about Amphion monitors I decided to get a pair of 18s some time ago and after having used them for a while in a number of sessions I found them to be a quiet useful tool. Crisp mids, nice stereo image, clear highs but... often I find myself wishing that there were a little more subs on these monitors.. I thought about adding a decent subwoofer to extend the base but having never used one + many failure stories about the inappropriate use of a subwoofer in 2.1 system kinda scares me from adding one in my own setup.. How do you deal with your sub issue? Do you use subwoofer or just don't bother with it? If you are using them, how do you deal with various problems (phase, positioning, level) associated with incorporating subwoofer to your existing stereo system? I'm so close to buying a subwoofer, but I don't want to end up wasting money, time, and effort for nothing..

Hello, everyone. Sorry to begin my first post with a question but I am in a very frustrating situation here so please do bear with me..
I'm an owner of a flamingo vintage and recently I came to realise that it is time to replace the tube inside mine as it was making too much noise.
Initially, I thought that I would need to send the mic back to violet design to have the tube replaced but after reading some posts about replacing the tube inside flamingo on the purple site I came to realise that it might be possible to replace the tube myself.
I tried to open the mic but the screws at the bottom were too tight and I'm not sure what I can use to turn those screws.
Anyone ever saw a screw like those?
If you have, then please share your knowledge with me...
Here are some pics:
