Hi, I've been having a quick look around and noticed there are various alternatives to the Auralex Mo-Pads by companies such as PrimAcoustic, ISO Acoustics, Ultimate Support and Auralex themselves to name a few. Would any of these products be an improvement over the Mo-Pads? My monitors are the...

Thanks for the replies guys. I have considered the Oktava MK012's but am put off by the inconsistent build quality and slightly higher self noise. I've recently come across the Oktavamod MJE-384k capsules for the NT5's which from the audio clips sound great! I am seriously tempted to buy the...

Hi, I'm looking to buy a pair of SDC's for location recording of classic vocal groups and ensembles. So far I've tried the Rode NT5's and JZ BT201's. From my experience of these I would say the NT'5s are more suited to classical recordings as the have a much higher output and lower signal to...

I owned the Eureka (which was modded) and found it to be a very acceptable preamp and would be happy to use one. Saying that I'm really liking the Audient Mico. It's a really nice clean and detailed preamp that has some excellent features including high quality D/A converters and HMX for adding...

I would personally get a decent interface with pres built in. You could look at something like the Apogee Duet, Focusrite Forte or TC Impact Twin for a high quality interface/pre and I would then put the rest of your money towards a better mic and Izotope Nectar 2 for mixing. The AT4040 sound...

Hi, I'm looking for a pair of budget tracking headphones and have a budget of up to £50. Ideally I would like something with a replaceable lead. I've done quite a bit of research and come up with the following models :- Monoprice 8323 - £15 Superlux HD669 - £24 Superlux HD661 - £24 Superlux...

Of the two pres you mention I would pick the UA 710 over the ART Pro MPAII. There are other pres I would pick over the ART PRO MPAII for around $500 or under :- Focusrite ISA One WARM WA12 or the new WARM TB12 True Systems P-Solo Grace M101 All of these are capable of superb results. I own...

Thought I'd add a reply here even though it's probably too late!! Might be useful for anyone else considering these? I have owned the PRE73 and have an Audient Mico. One thing I will say about the PRE73 I owned was it was pretty noisy! This was one of the early original mkI's and according to...

The Studiolive 16.0.2 is a very capable little desk that sounds great and is extremely easy to use. I have one that I have been using for around a year and love it. I don't find anything lacking in its sound at all and I've owned a few high end pres over the years!

These are on my wishlist!! Have got the KH120's at the moment and love them!

Thanks for the reply. I'm particularly interested in this mic along with the Shure PG52 and EV PL33. Anyone compared any of these?

Thought I'd bump this thread as I'm interested in the RED5 RVD1. Where did you find the info that said these are the same mics?

Hi, I'm interested in buying ione of these mics. Please pm me if you're interested in selling either of these. Thanks

The DAV BG1 or BG9 are worth adding to your list D.A.V. electronics - The Broadhurst Gardens No. 1 Mic Amp D.A.V. electronics - The Broadhurst Gardens No. 9 Mic Amp with D.I.

Hi, What are your thoughts on a DAV BG-1u + WARM WA12 (or upcoming TB12) as a preamp combo vs the Focusrite Liquid Channel and ISA One? These will be used mainly to record vocals and acoustic/elec guitar and bass. The advantage of the Focusrite pres is they have built in A/D conversion which...
