Edit: gently caress me, I didn't realize the pic was so big. I've been here for 5 years and I have no idea how to remove pics uploaded directly to SA. Sorry for the table breakage, guys. Anybody interested in a pair of Calrec mic pre/EQ modules for a DIY project? I got them a while ago and just don't have the time to rack 'em up, so they might as well go to a good home instead of sitting around my apartment looking pretty and taking up space. They're PQ-1347 modules, with a three band EQ and HP/LP filters. The frequency choices are fairly extensive and the high and low bands switchable between bell and shelf. They're in great shape and built like a tank, with Lundahl transformers on the mic and line inputs. The mic pre has 70db of gain which should be plenty for ribbon mics if you have any. One thing to be aware of though-the raw modules have an unbalanced output so you'll need to build/buy some type of output stage to use in order to maximize your headroom. You can't just hang an output transformer on it either, they're not very happy trying to drive one. I'd like to get $700 for the pair (or $350 each), but feel free to make a reasonable offer as I might just say 'gently caress it' for the sake of getting them out of here. the future is WOW fucked around with this message at 06:05 on Jun 6, 2010 |

JohnnyMondo posted:Yeah I'm probably into this You are correct, these are from the 80s and not the discrete 70s modules you're thinking of. I actually have 5 of those (4 PQ-15s and 1 PQ-10), but you're gonna have to pry them from my cold dead hands. These do sound really nice, though. If you want a rough Neve comparison they're closer to a V series type of EQ than a classic 60s/70s Neve (in form and function that is-they're significantly better in both build quality and tone). I'm not actively trying to sell them anywhere else, so if you (or anyone) decide they're interested then by all means PM me. Hadlock posted:uh, edit your post and delete the old <img>your image URL here</img> link, and reupload either Thanks for the tip, but I'm not quite that stupid. I uploaded it via SA (so there's no image URL to get rid of), not with an external image host. If I had used one then I would've jut deleted the link and uploaded the right image (as you suggested). Sorry if I wasn't clear in my post.

Any of you guys interested in a Spectra Sonics 610 comp/limiter? I'm in a bit of a cash crunch and need to pay my rent on Thursday, so I picked the piece of gear in my possession that I use the least and that's what I came up with. I recently moved and it's stuffed away in a box somewhere so I'm not gonna bother digging it out for pics unless there's any interest. I was originally going to put it up on eBay and CL for $1,000 (that might be a touch high, but it's a good starting point I figure since new ones are $1,300) and then decided I might as well give it a 20% 'SA music nerd' discount and see if a goon wants it (that would make my asking price $800). If someone is indeed interested, I'll be happy to send you some pics or post 'em here. I believe it's from the late '70s, has a smoked glass VU meter, and is in great cosmetic condition as well as working condition. It's one of those things that does what it does very well, but what it does is somewhat unique and fairly single-minded. It's not really what you want if you're looking for an all-around compressor, it works better as an effect-type comp. It's really hard to decribe, but the company is still around and you can read more about it at their website: http://spectra-sonics.com/610 Anyway, if anyone's interested just shoot me a PM or post an email I can reach you at and hopefully we can figure something out and I'll be able to pay my rent!

Hey, are any of you guys interested in a Roland RE-150 Space Echo? It's a real one, not a reissue or digital recreation. I finally decided to part with it since I never use it and it's a shame for it to be sitting around unappreciated. I actually forgot about this thread and already put it up on eBay, but if one of you fine fellows or ladies would like to grab it I'll gladly yank the auction. I was hoping to get about $500 for it, but I'm open to some haggling. Unfortunately there's nothing I need or want at the moment gear-wise, so cash is really the only thing I'd like to get for it. The unit is in really good condition (especially considering it's age), with no big scratches or scrapes. It has a little bit of that 'used and worn in' look, but honestly it looks like it's only a few years old at the most. It's working perfectly well and the only thing it might need is a new tape. Here's a crappy phone pic, if I can manage to find a better camera I'll take more pictures:  So if anyone is interested, please feel free to PM me and we can work out a deal. If you don't have PMs, just reply here with an email addy or something I can get back to you with. Edit: Also, I'm located in New York City so if you're in the area I'll be more than happy to meet you face to face so you can have a look and we can just do business in person instead of dealing with PayPal or whatever. the future is WOW fucked around with this message at 05:06 on Mar 1, 2014 |

muckswirler posted:Those are among the best mojo processors ever made even with no echo. I'll never under any circumstances part with mine. How did you get so broken? Aw man, 'broken' is so harsh; I prefer to think of myself more as 'gear-impaired'. Seriously though, to be fair, you do have a good point-it really is an awesome box and definitely unique among similar items. I'll be sad to see it go but I really am not using it at all (which is just shameful), and one of the things I'm working on in my life is trying to let go of the "...but but but I just might use it sometime!" mentality that I think a lot of us tend to suffer from and that ends up forcing us to hold onto cool poo poo that we just never use, eventually just leaving it to sit alone in the corner like a naughty 5 year old. I'd rather see it get into the hands of someone who's gonna use it and love it than have it sit around my apartment yet another year. Plus, I've been really lucky and have a large enough collection of vintage/old/mojo-possessing boxes that I really won't miss the Space Echo too much (as sad as that may sound). I've spent the last 12 or so years picking up cool stuff piece by piece as I came across each one and before I knew it I had so much poo poo it would make your head spin. Granted, I'm a recording/audio engineer by trade so it's not just for showing off or whatever and I actually do use the stuff in a creative capacity. But anyway, my point in all this is that I just need to learn to be able to let certain things go, that way I don't end up on some terrible A&E reality show after they find my body buried under a stack of vintage studio gear like some sort of audio nerd hoarder (edit: well, a worse kind of audio nerd hoarder than I already am, anyway). Ah, who am I kidding; we're musicians, all of us destined to die sad and alone buried amongst a pile of our own detritus and the wreckage of what we once called a life. Still, though, all of that self-justification won't make parting with the Space Echo any easier. I hope that whoever gets it really appreciates it (be it a goon or someone else). the future is WOW fucked around with this message at 10:46 on Mar 1, 2014 |

Scarf posted:Anyone ever shipped an instrument up to Canada from the US? Is there anything special I need to do regarding customs and poo poo from my end being the shipper in the US? As far as I know, just pack it well and mark the customs forms honestly as far what it is and the value (amount paid for whatever it is, not necessarily appraised value) and you should be good to go. If they ask you to mark down that amount I recommend you refuse, as that could mean trouble for you as well as the recipient. As long as that's all accurate, it's on them to take care of taxes and other import bullshit. E: The only other thing I can think of is if it contains exotic or endangered woods. You'll have to look that poo poo up because different countries have different policies relating to those.

So I've been going through my gear collection over the last few weeks and have a bunch of things I was thinking of selling, but I've noticed the majority of gear posted in the thread is guitar/instrument related. Since I'm a recording engineer, my collection consists of studio gear like old console modules (mic pre/EQ modules from Audix, Calrec and Auditronics; rackmount compressors from Urei, Aphex and Spectrasonics plus a couple of old BBC limiter modules). It's all semi DIY, as the things I'd be selling are all items I just haven't had the time to get around to properly rack mounting with power supplies, etc. It's all high quality stuff: discrete and or hybrid type modules full of good old transformers and the kind of poo poo people like to clone, and all in the under $1K price range (per piece I mean, not everything all together). Anyway, my question is are any of you guys (or gals) interested in this kind of stuff or would I just be cluttering up the thread with crap nobody wants? Edit: Alternately, if anyone is looking for something like what I've described you're more than welcome to PM me and see if I have something you'd like. You never know; I've been collecting poo poo for the 20+ years I've been engineering. the future is WOW fucked around with this message at 06:31 on May 2, 2014 |

Agreed posted:My ears are at full mast, by all means please list what you have for sale? I could really use a nice stereo preamp with solid EQ and preferably at least a well calibrated VUmeter on each input, stereo compressor/limiter (if it's a DIY rig, anything analogous to the famous names in functionality would be very welcome here of course), and I am always interested in old console strips/modules if they're either in working order ot close enough to it that the problem or problems is/are known and just requires some attention with a soldering iron and replacement parts. Ha, you totally nailed it with 'clearing out our version of cobwebs'. So as long as there's even a little interest I'll get some pics together and make a post with descriptions of everything. As far as electronic gremlins, to the best of my knowledge everything's in functioning order, but it's been a while since I've had any of it up on the bench and I no longer have access to a real shop where I can test it all out. I can say with a fair amount of confidence that apart from buying/building a power supply some recapping might be in order due to age. But yeah, if someone isn't comfortable with basic soldering then I wouldn't recommend buying stuff like this since eventually it's going to need some kind of work no matter what. And the condition would definitely be reflected in the price; I don't believe in gouging people on prices for gear and in all honesty I'm really only looking to make back what I paid for them. I'm not selling this stuff to make a living, I just don't see the point in having it sit around unused when someone else could get real use and enjoyment out of it for significantly less than it would cost from a gear broker like Vintage King. Also, I'm not going anywhere so if a serious problem is run into then I'm happy to email or talk with you on the phone to help diagnose and suggest fixes (within reason, of course, since I can't play 24 hour tech support but I'm not gonna leave you hanging either). Anyway, thanks for the reply. Like I said, I didn't want to be annoying and post up a bunch of poo poo no one wants. I'm a bit crazy at work today, but if I get a long enough break I'll write up a a full gear list with descriptions and specs and then take some pics when I get home tonight.

Apologies for taking so long to post, but I ended up working until 3am yesterday and just passed the hell out when I got home. I'm going to preface all of this by reiterating what I said in my post before: this stuff all needs to be racked (or lunchboxed) and powered, so if you're looking for something that's plug and play then these things probably aren't up your alley. Alternately, you could always pay a tech to do that work for you or even purchase pre-made chassis from Boutique Audio or Vintage King (or whoever). Even with the price of such things I believe you'd still be getting a great bargain as I've tried to price everything to move; I just don't have the time to do the work of racking this stuff at the moment and it's a shame for good gear to just sit around collecting dust so I'd like to see them go to someone who will use them and enjoy them. I've tried to be descriptive of the condition of everything, but if I missed something or other then please ask about it. If anything needs more work than racking and powering I'll say so explicitly. Aside from that, all of this stuff could probably benefit from a recapping due to age but it's not completely necessary if you don't feel like it. Everything was working the last time I powered any of it up on a test bench, but since it's all been sitting around for a few years and I no longer have access to test equipment (or a bench) it's all being sold as-is, which is pretty much the standard for used gear bought from a stranger on the internet anyway. Also, I apologize in advance for this being a giant mega-post but I wanted to be as explicit as possible in describing everything. Okay, on with the show! First up is a pair of Audix 35103 mic pre/EQ modules:    They're the 3rd version of the input module for their BBC commissioned consoles from the 70s. Functionally identical to the 35102 modules that Brent Averill used to offer for sale a few years back, they're in really good condition for something that's almost 40 years old. Here are some specs: -Marinair transformer balanced mic & line level inputs -3-Band inductor based EQ (switchable in or out of circuit) with +/- 15dB gain per band plus high pass and low pass filters -High Frequency band selectable at 3.3k, 4.7k, 6.8k, 10k, & 15kHz; switchable out of circuit -Mid Frequency band selectable at 270Hz, 390Hz, 560Hz, 820Hz, 1.2k, 1.8k, 2.7k, 3.9k, 5.6k, & 8.2kHz; switchable out of circuit -High Frequency band selectable at 33Hz, 56Hz, 100Hz, 180Hz, & 330Hz; switchable out of circuit -Low Pass Filter selectable at 18k, 12k, 8.2k, 5.6k, & 3.9kHz; switchable out of circuit -High pass filter selectable at 27Hz, 47Hz, 82Hz, 150Hz, & 270Hz; switchable out of circuit. -Polarity reversal These are my favorite 'sleeper' kind of modules, in that they sound great but they're not very common in studios. They're also favorites because I really like the way they sound. They're often compared to the 33114 since they were built to the same specs, but they sound very different while still being in the same family of British pres from the 70s tone-wise. The mic pre is clean but big, and gets nicely dirty when you push it. The EQ is awesome, with a really nice high end that's clear but not too bright. It also doesn't get brittle when if you crank it up hard. The low end is where these really stand out, and I love using them on kick drums and basses. Boosting the lows gets you a huge bottom end that stays nice and tight no matter how hard you push it. If I had to pick something to compare it to, I'd say it's a bit like an API kind of solid, tight low end (I don't mean that it sounds just like an API, just that it's a comparable tone). For anyone unfamiliar with Audix's history as a gear manufacturer, here's a little blurb I found about the making of these particular modules (and consoles): quote:In the 70's and 80's, Audix, located in the village of Wendens Ambo near Saffron Walden in Great Britain, made absolutely brilliant consoles that were generally commissioned by the BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation). Audix employed several Neve engineering designers in the 70's and 80's, including David Rees, Mike Stapleton, Robin Ireland, and Geoff Tanner! Basically, in the 1970's, when Neve couldn't complete orders fast enough to meet a growing demand from not only the BBC, but the rest of the world, the BBC commissioned Audix to build broadcast consoles for them. Most were built to the same specs as Neve, and generally had a very similar architecture. These modules are based on the Neve (3)3114 and (3)3115 modules generally found in the Neve Melbourn and other Neve consoles of the mid 70's and also come with very nice 3-band inductor based EQ. All features and frequencies on the modules are the same as the aforementioned Neve's and the specs and are quite similar. These come stock with Marinair Radar input transformers, the same company that supplied many of the transformers for Neve consoles in the 60's and 70's. Marinair were based in Harlow, Essex, located approx. 20 miles South of Cambridge. Something to note with these, while they have transformer balanced mic and line inputs the module outputs are unbalanced. This is because they were designed as part of a console, not to be used as standalone pieces. In the consoles, the output driver and output transformer were located in a separate module (model# 35302). It's actually fairly crucial to have some kind of output amp (with or without xformers), as the stock unbalanced output is poo poo at driving anything lower than 10K and doing so will result in decreased headroom and increased distortion. I actually have the proper module to be used (the 35302 is actually a quad amp module with 2 transformer balanced channels and 2 electronically balanced channels), but unfortunately it is missing the 2 transformers. The rest of the module is complete, however, and the transformers themselves can be found used or purchased new from someone like Sowter or Canford in the UK (or try something from Cinemag or Jensen if you're feeling experimental). Even with having to replace the transformers it would still save you time, money and effort over deigning and building an output driver from scratch. Anyway, I'm looking to get $450 per module for these. And if someone buys the pair I'll throw in the 35302 quad amp module as a bonus. Next up, a pair of Auditronics 110b mic pre/EQs:   These are nice little American modules with Jensen transformer inputs and really nice 3 band inductor based EQ (plus switchable HP and LP filters). They're simple units that sound really nice and seem to be growing a bit in popularity. The EQ on them is great, and even with the limited choice of frequencies I never feel like I'm missing something or can't get a good sound. The top end is clean and open, the mids are smooth and the lows are big without being overpowering. The build quality is really good on them and there are some simple mods floating around the internet as well (stuff like swapping out the 5534s for Burr Brown chips or using one of the aux sends as an output level control). Like the Audix modules these have unbalanced outputs but I do have the output driver cards (seen at the bottom of the second pic) to be used for a balanced transformer (Jensen JE-123-S) output. For these I'm asking $250 each, and once again if someone buys both I'll throw in the output drivers for no additional cost (the Jensen JE-123s currently go for over $50 each according to their website). The third (and final, for now) pair of console modules I'm putting up are a pair of Calrec PQ-1347 mic pre/EQs:  Calrec is a pretty well known company, so I'm going to assume most folks know about them. These are from the 80s, I believe, and were custom designed and manufactured for BBC Leeds, Television Studio A (and used in Calrec's M-Series analog consoles). They have transformer balanced inputs (Lundahl, I believe) and a great 3-band EQ (with variable high pass and low pass filters). The build quality on these is fantastic, they're solid as hell and seem to be built like a goddamn tank. I didn't have time to open them up for internal pics, but if I get a chance I'll see if I can get a couple. Sound-wise, I really like them; not too colored but not flat either. I'd say 'big and clean with a bit of personality' would be the best descriptor. To me they kind of sound like what I used to wish the EQs in a Neve V series console would sound like whenever I used them. In other words, they're good if you need something a bit precise while also being good when you want something broader and more colorful. Here's a list of specs I found for them: -Microphone Sensitivity +10 / -70dBu in 5dB steps with 32dB (min) headroom at each step to maximum input level of +28dBu. -Alternative Line Input ±10dBu sensitivity (or ±3dBu). -Phase Reverse Mic and Line (optional switch). -3-band Parametric Equaliser with +/- 15bd boost/cut: — Detented neutral amplitude positions. — Choice of Bell or Shelf in High and Low Bands. — Choice of 2 “Q” settings Mid band -Selectable High and Low Frequency Filters at 12dB/octave. Also, just like the previous two items, these modules also have unbalanced outputs. Using these with the stock unbalanced out will result in the usual decreased headroom and increased distortion. Unfortunately, I don't have any line drivers/balancing amps to use with them but it's not difficult to find something that can be used for that purpose. Or if you're handy with a soldering iron (and honestly, if you're thinking of grabbing these then you really should be) it's pretty easy to build something to your liking either from your own design or with a kit from the likes of JLM or whomever. It must have a proper line driver, though, as you can't just hang a transformer off the unbalanced out and call it a day. Everything I've read about these units says that's a terrible idea that results in bad tone. Price wise, I'm looking to get $375 each on these. Since I don't have anything to throw in as a bonus, if someone buys both modules together I'll let them go for $700 for the pair. Okay, that's it for mic pre/EQs for now. I still have a couple of things I'm on the fence about selling (Quad Eight 333 EQs, a couple of rackmount Moog EQs and a pair of Filtek Mk3 EQs) so there may be more module madness later but for now I'm gonna take a break and start digging out compressors to take pics of. Since that may take a little bit here's a preview list of the comps I'm putting up to start with: a Spectrasonics 610, a pair of BBC AM 6/21 limiter modules that have been racked and modded with front panel controls and two Urei LA-10 mono VCA compressors. In the meantime, if anyone has questions then ask away or feel free to PM me if you want.

HollisBrown posted:So did these come out of a console? If not, what were you using the interface with these? Yes, all of the modules are originally from consoles. I bought them as modules, though, with the intention of building nice cases with power supplies to rack them up. As for interfacing, when I first got them I still had a gig as a studio tech so I had access to a nice bench full of test equipment. I would make little test jigs with spare connectors and poo poo, using a bench supply for power and a signal generator/scope combo to check that it was passing signal properly and that the EQs were all functioning. All just temporary measures in order to check that I didn't get stuck with dead gear while I was waiting to have the time to build permanent housing for them. Unfortunately (or fortunately I suppose), my life just kept getting busier and busier until the next thing I knew it was years later and I had never got around to building any of it.

Alright, time for some compressors. I'll try and keep this post a bit shorter than my first one. This will be the first batch of comps I'm putting up for sale; there are a few others I'm on the fence about but I'll make a decision on those later. First off, here's a group picture of everything: If someone wants more detailed pics I'll be happy to take some more, but in general every item is in good condition, with a little bit of rack rash here and there and some cosmetic wear and tear on the older items like the 610 and the BBC comps. Anyway, on to the descriptions. Going from the top we'll start with a SpectraSonics 610 mono discrete 'complimiter' (as the manufacturer calls it). It's an interesting unit with a unique sound and it works sort of like a super fast super hard limiter in the 1176 vein of things (the 1176 is the first thing I thought of as a comparison function wise, not so much for the tone). I honestly don't really know what I can compare it to in order to give an idea of what it sounds like. It pretty much does it's own thing, but it does it really well and unlike anything else. The company is still in business and still makes 610s. You can read about it and get the specs here: http://spectra-sonics.com/610. And here's a quick-start guide that will give you an idea of how it works: http://spectra-sonics.com/quickstart. They also offer a rebuild service where they'll take your 610 and completely refurb it as well as make little updates like replacing the meter lamp with LEDs for $330. Also, the output knob isn't the original, but a replacement can easily be ordered from the company. It didn't matter to me so I never bothered replacing it. On this one I'd like to get $750. New ones from SpectraSonics are $1300, and used ones tend to get listed for anything between $1000 and $1500, so even if you sent it in for the refurb deal it would still end up costing you $200 less than a new one. As a reference, I originally paid $900 for it so I'm taking a little bit of a hit in order to get it out the door. Next up is a pair of BBC AM 6/21 limiters. These have been racked up as a pair and modified with front panel controls for Input, Ratio, Release and Output Gain. These are great discrete limiters from the British family of broadcast equipment. A lot of people like to compare these to Neve diode bridge type compressors like the 2254 but they're really nothing alike apart from using similar design ideas and components. They may have a slightly similar tone when idling but I find the action of the compressor/limiter to be a different animal. And while they do fall under the umbrella of Brit gear, don't buy these thinking you'll be getting a 33609 or 2254 for a steal (and if anyone tells you otherwise then they're a loving liar that's trying to cheat you out of your money). I find these to be really good at smashing the poo poo out of stuff and like to use them for making some kind of sonic statement, as subtlety doesn't really seem to be their strong point. Now, this unit does have one issue-there is no power supply for them. I bought them like that as even without the supply the work that had been done to mount and mod them was well worth having to find or build a PSU. The I/O is all wired up to XLRs on the back panel, along with a 4-pin XLR to connect to a supply. So the only work this unit needs is the building or purchase of a suitable PSU and it will be ready to go. I originally tested it out with a bench supply when I first got it, but as with everything else I never got around to actually building a permanent one. BTW, if you're wondering how I can say 'I like to use them for so-and-so' when there's no power supply, the answer is that I have another pair of BBC comps (Audix branded AM 6/17 units that were pulled from a console) that I use regularly and am keeping for myself. For this Frankenstein I'm looking to get $800. I usually see the raw modules go for like $3-400 or more, and with the work already put into racking and modding I figure I'm asking a fair price for them even without a PSU (which would need to be sorted if you bought the modules alone anyway). I originally got these on eBay from someone in London, and paid $1,000 for them at the time. Like with the 610, I'm taking a small hit for the sake of moving 'em into the hands of someone who will use them. Last up, a pair of Urei LA-10 mono VCA compressors. These are well built, clean sounding units with transformer ins and outs. They're not the kind of thing to reach for if you're trying to get some color but if you want a clean, elegant and accurate kind of gain control then these are your box. They are very versatile, and can be pushed into pumping and breathing if you want to smash up some drum overheads or room mics but they won't really get crunchy or distort in the way an opto or tube comp will. They sound great on pretty much anything you throw at them, and are a really good all-around utility comp. One of the best things about them is the variable detector control, which allows you to choose between RMS and Peak type of compression and anything in between. They're very similar in design to the JBL 7110, albeit with some minor variations in the circuit design, and if you've used one of those before it's actually a pretty good box to compare these to if you want a basic idea of how they'll sound/work . I have an LA-22 which is a stereo version of these with an additional side chain filter that I'm keeping for myself as I truly love it. For these, I'm looking to get $275 each. The average selling price I've seen tends to be in the $300-350 range, and as with everything else I'm pricing them slightly under what I paid in order to move them. Like before, if anyone's got questions please fire away and if you see something you want let me know and lets make a deal.

TRIPLE POST BONUS ROUND!!! One Moog MKG 10 band Graphic EQ, 2 space rackmount unit in good condition:  No one seem to be able to agree on a price for Moog EQs, as I see listings that vary from $3-500 (reasonable) all the way up to $1300-1500 (completely insane!) I'm looking to get $375, but I'm willing to negotiate a little bit. Ok, that's it for now. Sorry for the excessive posting and thanks for the interest, hopefully someone will find something they like. Also, I'm pretty firm on the prices I'm asking but I am willing to work out deals on anything but the mic pre/EQ modules, since for those items I'm already adding in extras where I have them and discounting a little where I don't if people buy them as pairs. Or if one person buys more than one thing I'm down to work out package deals.

Sorry to keep posting at you guys, but as I keep finding more stuff to sell as I dig through my boxes of gear. I could swear someone asked about mics (I can't find the post at the moment) and I came across this Shinybox 46U Ribbon mic that I totally forgot I had.  I got it in trade for a couple of giant old API VU meters back when the dude (I think his name is John? I don't quite remember for sure, I guess my memory is starting to slip a bit) had just started up the company. I used it a few times and then set it aside and just kinda forgot about it in the hoopla of changing jobs and moving apartments. It' a pretty standard ribbon mic, figure 8 pickup pattern and all that. You can see more info at their site here. It's basically brand new, built like a tank and there's not a scratch on the thing. I originally wanted to mod it with a Lundahl ribbon mic transformer, but like the rest of the stuff I put up I just never got around to it. I never use it these days so I figured someone here might like it. It sounds great on guitars, and honestly everything I threw it on sounded sounded really nice. I'd like to get $350 for it shipped to the lower 48 (if you're overseas I'll split the shipping with you 50/50). It comes with the really nice thickly padded nylon carry bag seen in the picture plus a well padded hard case that's not pictured. These sell direct from Shinybox for $425, so I figure that's a pretty fair price since it's pretty much brand new. Anyway, anyone interested just throw me a PM or post an email I can contact you with and let's make a deal! Edit: While digging I also came across an old rack mount Chandler Tube Driver. I didn't take any pics but while I'm posting I figured I'd ask if anyone is interested? the future is WOW fucked around with this message at 05:09 on May 8, 2014 |

Agreed posted:I will miss a lot of poo poo but I will NOT miss a Chandler Tube Driver. Tell me more. In PM if you wish. Callin' dibs if you can find it in your heart to let me do that 'til I check my bank account and we negotiate on price. Sent you a PM man, check it out and hit me back. Thanks!

Hey everyone, I'm back with more studio gear that I'm looking to sell. This one breaks my heart a little bit but as with the other items I've offered up I just don't have the time to do the necessary work to rack and power them. Up for sale this time is a pair of vintage Neve 3104 mic preamp/EQs. In great condition, they need a rackmount or lunchbox chassis as well as a power supply but aside from that they are good to go. These are really nice modules, and even though they are from the broadcast family of modules (along with other modules like the (3)3114, (3)3115 and 33129 to name a few) these actually have the output driver and output transformer all mounted inside the module itself (as opposed to other broadcast modules where the output driver/transformer were mounted in a separate module) and thus no further parts need be acquired to complete the signal chain. As for the rest of the circuit, it's an all discrete design with nary an IC in sight. The EQ is a very nice 3 band inductor type with many of the same frequency choices as the other broadcast modules along with high pass and low pass filters. Here are all of the available EQ and gain choices: * Gain: 90db range: +10dB to -80dB in 5dB steps * HF: 15, 10, 6.8, 4.7, 3.3 kHz * MF: 8k2, 5k6, 3k9, 2k7, 1k8, 1k2, 820, 560, 390, 270 Hz * LF: 330, 180, 100, 56, 33 Hz * HPF: 270, 150, 82, 47, 27 Hz * LPF: 3.9, 5.6, 8.2, 12, 18 kHz And some pics: Module #1:   Module #2:   One of the modules is missing two of the white switch caps, which I'm sure can be replaced fairly easily. That same module is also missing the rear metal panel, which is purely cosmetic (and slightly structural, although the only thing attached to it other than the PCB is the small pot in the back which can be attached to another part of the module or to something inside the chassis) and is completely unnecessary once the module is mounted in some type of housing. This is all reflected in my asking price, of course, which you will see is well below the average market price for this type of module. Aside from all that they are in great condition to the best of my knowledge. Still, they are vintage modules with quite a few year behind them so the usual conditions apply here, i.e. no guarantee or warranty, no returns, blah blah blah you guys all know the drill already. Anyway, in light of the recent furor over some schmuck trying to sell his poo poo for ridiculously inflated prices I've decided to take the opposite approach and price these well below the standard asking price for vintage Neve modules. I'm looking to get $1350 for module 1, and $1250 for module 2. My goal in this is to try and get them into the hands of the average musician/producer/engineer who wouldn't normally be able to afford something like this. I strongly dislike the way greedy brokers and dealers have driven the price of great gear like this up into Manhattan real estate price territory (some dude on ebay currently has a racked and powered pair of these listed at $7500!). If there are any questions please feel free to ask here or PM me and hopefully one of you fine fellows (or ladies) will pick these up. They may be a bit of a fixer-upper but are still a great deal.

I was wondering if some of you guitar guys could point me towards any kind of decent resources for selling my guitar. I really only deal with recording gear when it comes to buying/selling stuff so I'm a bit lost on this one. I never use it and it's way too nice to sit around doing nothing, so I'd like to see it go to someone who would actually use and enjoy it the way it deserves. It's a 2006 Spector USA Arc 6 set-neck guitar, a very nice spalted maple top version in a tobacco sunburst type finish, serial number 015 (complete with the usual Stuart Spector signature on the back of the headstock). It's a bit on the expensive side (list price is $4600 but I'm looking to get a lot less than that), and it's in excellent condition. It is a little bit dusty so it could use a good polish (and a setup is long overdue) but otherwise it has no scratches or blemishes. Anyway, any suggestions you guys have would be greatly appreciated. Edit: I'm in NYC if that makes any difference. the future is WOW fucked around with this message at 22:39 on Jun 28, 2014 |
