[harry]

man the sellers got like 50+ of these for sale...... and heaps of other calrec gear.....

these new toys of mine are on top of the money spent earlier in the week on a pair of audix 35102 (almost a neve 33114) and enough spare parts and circuit boards to make half a dozen api312 type pres and 90 discrete op amps..... melcor, 990, 2520.....

im scared of what im turning into.... soon i'll look like a capacitor (wima of course)

you heard it here first...... it's all tony mite's fault...

who's joining in the festivities.....

you know how i have a cupboard full of parts i will never get to using , i have more wilma poly caps ( every value and audio +voltages ) then i will ever need , anyone in sydney is welcome to drop by and buy them at 1/4price.
i could not be bothered fishing through them myself
so sorry for the out of towners

Are these good harry? I got so much stuff that needs fixing I could open my own business!! (No one would get paid though!)

[harry]

dont know if they are any good henry....

the gyraf audio bloke cloned a very similar unit.... he thinks the eq's are great.... i thought it would be cheaper and easier to rack these up than build from scratch.

as for the audix.... they are real nice apparentely.... different to a neve 33114 but in that ballpark.... (near identical 3 band inductor eq... different but similar mic gain stages... st ives transformers instead of marinair (very similar)....

u too have stuff to fix eh..... maybe we should 'fix' everything that needs fixing before we commit to buying any new gear....

i can think of at least 10 things that need doing (some quite major) before my studio could function in a nice productive manner.

henry? are you the henry with the dynamix??
if yes how's that going?

[mfdu]

yeah - hows that dynamix?

if i could stop myself from taking on new projects until i have finished the last ones i would be a saner and happier man.

i'm hearing ya.

I havn't recapped mine yet. It has no problems though as far as noise goes, and has ALP faders too, so I got a good one! Has one led that sticks on apart from that its great for tracking drums and vocals. The eq is outrageous!!

[tonymite]

Harry - 5 rack cases have just arrived that i gotta pick up... but I'm thinking of Monking it for a week at a Monast'ry and by-passing everything ... remember when u said " BUT U GOT AN 02R" ??? that was the last time I was in balkanology.

aaaahhh the good old days ... when I had the ponytail and was happy with the W-30 ...
