The Abrahamses run the Annals of Improbable Research, a satirical science journal that oversees the annual Ig Nobel Prizes and, most recently, the Luxuriant Flowing Hair Club for Scientists.

I propose a "Luxuriant Flowing Hair Club for Engineers".

i'll kick it off. yes - i grew up in the country in the 80's, where the mullet was king, and acid wash jeans ruled.


(edit) damn - you don't accept images on here. i forgot.

We're always up for images, the forum does accept them (i just edited your post and made your image link work), just remember to de-select 'disable bbcode in this post' option beneath the text box when you post.

hows my old tac?

hi mark - thanks for the tip. i'll start posting a couple of images now, i reckon. tee hee.

hi damien. the TAC is beaudiful. haven't done any real tracking with her yet, but once i went through and fixed all cabling to suit pin 3 hot it's all good. (have been checking the whole place for phase-swap issues arrising from pin 2 hot / pin 3 hot mismatches)
got a few folks coming through the next week to give her a proper trial.
so far? running the drumkit in (three mics - snare, kik and ribbon o'h) via the TAC and straight into the 002r, i can say she has the right kind of character and she definately thickens the sound (boosts RMS) which probably means some levels of distortion . . . good, or bad? yet to say.
headroom ain't brilliant, but better than the old studiomaster.
i'll posts some samples once i've put her to proper use.
