I've got one 23, so another would be the preference. bodhisan@comcast.net

I like to record direct from my Peavey Session 500 for pedal steel, but I also occasionally (when no one's home) like to record it miked. My room's small and cramped, so it's rather difficult to reach back and find the frickin' 1/4" jack input to stick the speaker cable in (it's broken down...

Just a quick "howdy" to at least say how happy (actually, elated) I am with this tube ribbon from Chance's group buy. Since I got it today, I haven't afforded it the 24-hour burn-in time, and while I wasn't going to even try it out until tomorrow, I couldn't wait. I don't have any sound bites...

What's the deal? Was it no good, or was it too expensive to justify? It's no longer available, it appears, on the SP mikes that used it.

I'm more of a condenser type of nut.

Got one? Email me: bodhisan@comcast.net Will pay $130 shipped.

Okay, are these GREAT? Should I get one for my ribbon or dynamic?

I haven't received a new head yet that I bought (to record direct with), so I can't experiment. If I wanted to use the speaker in an amp that I have, am I able to hook the head up to it through the preamp out/power in input, and if so, does that amp have to be turned on? If it has to be turned...

What's your choice? Mostly interesting in a recording direct from it, especially pedal steel guitar. Bodhisan

I've seen one on their website, but no price... Bodhisan

When I stick my own CDs into my computer to play on a software, none of the tracks are identified. Just "unknown artist" track one. I use CD Architect 5.0.

Dual Pattern Stereo Electret Microphone System 33-919. Found it at a thrift store in good shape. If this is, indeed, a condenser (which is the claim on the box), it needs phantom power, and my preamp only takes XLR connectors for a condensor mike. My thoughts are to sell this, but would like...

Over at a steel guitar forum I frequent, the raves have been over the newest steel amp from Peavey, a 12" cabinet (steelers for the past 40 years had preferred 15" speakers in steel amps), yet it's been claimed you need to "break the speaker in" before it sounds good, i.e. some people run a CD...

I've been just doing quicker fades, but...is there a trick to dealing with the room noise that becomes audible after the release on a compressed track, i.e. a bass track for instance, that you don't necessarily want to fade out that quick?

I'd like to just for the heck of it. Is it as simple as opening up the box and there it'll be? Changing out in the VTB-1 was involved, but easy. I was going to post this on the PMI forum, but can't get in...
