Another happy GIK customer here. I'm using a bunch of their absorbers. They're also very helpful in my living room, btw...

I think the real question is... who pays insurance claims with the least amount of hassle? I think someone said Fedex is horrible? who's the best at paying claims? I guess they're all equally bad when it comes to claims.

I recently became aware of a fly-by-night delivery system: Prestige Delivery Systems I've seen their vans on the road but never experienced them. Their service varies by region, but there's a lot of chatter about their horrible service. I found this out when Staples said my office chair was delivered, when it was NOT. I researched the name and found plenty of horror stories. You may encounter them when buying through Staples or Amazon Prime. I'll shop at a physical Staples store instead of online. I had to place several calls to finally get them to deliver, even though their records said it was delivered. Then the chair leg was poking through the box. Personally, I prefer UPS and USPS for delivery. When I ship overseas, I've only dealt with USPS, at outrageous costs and extremely slow delivery. Still out on a limb when I ship overseas. I stopped buying from several vendors when they wouldn't change their useless shipping companies after I complained. Ama.zon is one of them (had to insert a full stop to avoid the automatic link, bastards), everything they sell is available elsewhere. No big loss. I've made the best experiences with DHL over here, they're fast and reliable. B1, your avatar makes me dizzy....

I don't know, I get the feeling you PT users have masochist tendencies.

I have since dealt with him more and have a few more mics he serviced. I can't say enough good things about Andreas.

I have Andreas Grosser's U47 with his FET 'tube'. When I visited him, he showed me both versions and even though I was desperate to get a real tube, man, that FET thing sounded just as good but without the noise. In the end, he let me go home with a brandnew high-end microphone without even paying for it, he said it's okay to send the money via bank transfer when I got home. What a guy, he didn't even know me at the time. But it was my birthday

Wiz, I'm happy for you. Have an amazing time and enjoy your stay, I know you will. Wish I could be there and have a beer or two with all you guys. Cheers from Germany anyway...

I'm my own customer and I praise myself everyday. Mind you, that's part of the therapy... Love that dog, HÃ¥kan. My cat always comes to the studio when she hears music.

Now it was a while since I terrorized u guys with some rattling cans. I sneak in to my man cave studio between the building of www.facebook.com/westwoodmusic.sthlm studio complex. Had a fun evening in the studio to find a late 70s, early 80s Sound of the drums to a client. The drums got dressed with traditionel "black dot" skin and a lot of "moon gel" (info 4 us drum nerds) so to get it nice and dry sounds! Of course it is jsteiger classic API VP26 which is faithful servants beyond some Neve and API preamps...wery...wery dry sound and i like it...will be more dry in the future Fuck me that sounds amazing!! Simply fantastic! Fuck me, what can I add to that? Jeff said it all...

This is a leak. It's not out yet. I'm kinda gobsmacked at the lack of reaction. I know this is not ready yet. I was referring to the Redd.47 giveaway that ended in February, but is still very prominent on the Chandler homepage. That said, some info on the 124 would be very welcome...

Great, so I can finally replace my Abbey Road plugin that is no longer supported.

Definitely "Rock", all the best jazz, funk, RB, pop etc all have it in common, they "ROCK"! It's an attitude right? I mean who rocks harder than Miles Davis or John Coltrane? I hear what you're saying, but I think you may be confusing rocking with bopping and swinging. Led Zeppelin Rocked and Swung (sp?), right? Anyway, the problem with the survey for me personally is that good music is good music. Bach, Coltrane, Stravinski, Hendrix.. and the list goes on and on.. There's tons of it. But then there's the down-side. When I'm in the car the dial goes in one direction and stops when the music is good, regardless of the genre. Unfortunately, I'm a snob, so I end up spinning that dial like a caffeinated gerbil with OCD on a treadmill ..because it turns out there's also a LOT of BAAAD music out there. That's why my radio remains silent and my iPod rocks the car..

AU or VST? Great answer Wiz, thanks for the laugh on this grey rainy morning. I have a Manley Vari-Mu, followed by a Retro 2A3 and, most recently, followed by a Kush Clariphonic. Everything in tiny doses.

T, that looks awesome, nice build. I can almost hear those drums . Tell me more about those Aphex Expressors. I just bought one (upon Jim W's praise) but haven't got it yet... Man, I wish you were closer, you could make some dough building stuff for me, sigh...

I agree on not spending half on an inferior product. But a 500 Series setting is calling my name... Same here. I have 2 open slots, but no money to fill them! Well, fill them with gear instead of money...
