Amazing, thanks for sharing John. That echo chamber is beautiful, even on cheap headphones, the tail is amazing. The mic locker is almost as big as mine, wait, what? Don't wake me up now...

Pretty close. In terms of electrical design, it's identical. In terms of sound, it's pretty close based on hearing a real A rev blue stripe exactly one time in my life. Other than that, it's just as noisy as the real thing. I'd probably get another Rev D before getting another Rev A. Well, as many of you know, I have one of the (now unavailable) exact clones Bluestripe clones from Pro Replicas of Poland. And I have compared it to an original and have experience with originals. It is absolutely identical in all but two ways: 1. It's a more solid chassis build 2. It doesn't have as much noise for some reason But it sounds absolutely identical. And as far as Holy Grails are concerned, a Bluestripe is THE holy grail for vocal tracking. There's nothing else like it in an 1176 / FET / ultra quick response limiter. Rev Ds are also great but slightly different strengths/applications. True, I have a Rev. D from Pro Replicas, great build and sound. Ward, why is the Bluestripe unavailable? Robert still builds those, even though it now says Pro Replicas on the faceplate instead of Urei. I'm thinking of getting one myself and your assessment of Robert's unit helps a lot, thanks.

I just got a refurb from Apple for 900. Roughly. The body and screen were spotless and the performance is solid. 15" screen and 16GB RAM?? That would be a steal.

I don't think it's too expensive for a 15" Mac Book with 16GB. Apple sells refurbished 15" units for around 2000 Euros over here. I just bought a new 13" with 4GB for 1000 Euros for my wife.

Oh yeah! I get them every 3-5 weeks and they last between 3 and 5 days. Major pain the a$$ (and head) and makes me feel sick, not the vomity kind, but close. Got it from my mother.

I heard the B&Ws at Abbey Road, they are amazing. Not in the 'affordable' bracket, though. Adam A77Xs are affordable and sound great.

It's a beautiful place and you guys are lucky just to be there, let alone work in it. Enjoy every single minute John. Reminds me of the 1980s, when I worked in places like that, well almost like that...

Well, he's GOT to be rolling in it. The guy (supposedly) has 200,000 members. His ad prices are literally 40 times what I charge on this site. Let him roll in it. Money is not everything. One day, all the high rollers-in-it will choke on it.

GS gives a home to the uninformed, the wannabes and know-it-alls, so they stay away from here. Great. Sort of like an asylum where the inmates lock themselves up. As a source of learning, exchange and information, GS has become completely useless.

Anybody ever heard the A77x's? How are they? I use 77Xs for a couple of years now and I love them. I had A7s before that and needed a subwoofer with those, with the 77Xs, there's enough bass and a nice stereofield. Adam makes great stuff and I hope they can pull through.

Happy with my Beyer DT880 Pros on an SPL Phonitor. I mixed about 60% of my last album on those. Would love to shoot out the Beyer T-1 against the Sennheiser HD800 though. One day...

Looks interesting but I-lok. I stopped buying Plugs with hardware dongle for a good reason. I can understand that they want to protect their work. But not with an restrictive policy like I-lok. Good old online installation and registering never let me down. I can understand why you don't want I-lok, especially if you run a commercial studio that could be seriously damaged by one of the problems it seems to have on a semi-regular basis. I've been lucky, never had a problem, and I have the following plugs that use it: Kush Clariphonic, UBK-1, Pusher Melodyne Editor 2, Studio 3 Slate FG-X, VBC, VCC, VTM, VMR Sound Toys Native Effects UVI Grand Piano Model D Eventide UltraChannel Native, UltraReverb Exponential Audio PhoenixVerb, R2 Good old online installation and registering has let me down every time I've changed systems or hard drives. Hours of registering, as opposed to just plugging in the I-lok. And the few times I've needed to use some of my plugs in a different system, I-lok has been terrific. I wish all plugins would provide an I-lok option. Absolutely, same experience here. Please guys, limit the iLok whining to GS. We all know that some hate it and some love it, like everything else in life. Back to AirEQ. Isn't Eiosis Fabrice's company? He does some incredible things at Slate. Just my humble opinion, of course, but...

Kush Audio has all plugins for sale at $99. Still running until the end of Monday. Couldn't help but grab ubk-1 and Clariphonic. Would love to get the hardware, but this will let me play with it for a while. Love Greg's stuff. Oh, and then there's the Fabfilter EQ... Summary: Spent too much this weekend. Still have to buy some X-mas presents for my folks. (What? No Christmas Smiley?)

Looks very tempting. Chandler is also coming out with a Redd.47 pre in 2015. At a much higher price point, no doubt. The problem with the Dizengoff Redd for us non-US residents will be shipping, taxes and warranty. Especially the latter. $2300 for the Chandler IIRC. 6 hundo is a much more realistic price point for a guy like me. I totally get that, although I've not seen a price on either product. And that 600 will easily be 800 when it gets over here.

Sounds great, Martin, very nice soundscape. Those guitars sound great, is that a Rickenbacker? The vox is still a bit too hot for my taste, but that's just me. Well done.
