    Headphone Choice

    So true. It would be hard to go wrong with an old favorite like the Koss PRO4AA. Thousands of pro audio users spanning four decades. https://www.koss.com/headphones/over-ear-headphones/pro4aa

    Setting gain in multi-stage (phono preamp -> 10/4 box -> Presonus interface) setup?

    Setting gain in multi-stage (phono preamp -> 10/4 box -> Presonus interface) setup? Hello, all. I'm looking to record LPs onto a MacBook Pro using a Presonus USB AudioBox. I'll be using a Radio Shack standalone phono preamp, with an Aphex 124-A 10/4 box to match the preamp's RCA outputs to the...

    Please recommend a P-mount phonograph cartridge!

    I just bought a Technics SL-QD33 direct drive turntable. This unit has a straight tonearm, a fairly heavy plinth, and is factory-adjusted for 1.25g tracking force and anti-skate. Neither parameter appears to be manually adjustable. I bought the new turntable for two reasons: (1) So Lt. Bob...

    Joy of joys! I may finally get a usable studio space!

    Got back together with my ex a few weeks ago. She has a house in a quiet rural area. Come to find out, she's into home recording too. So there wouldn't be any conflicts with roommates who don't share my interests. There's enough space for a big live room and a good-sized control room right off...

    MidiSport 4x4 on MacBook Pro?

    First of all, I don't own the Mac and don't intend to ever own one. I'm trying a few things out with it, and if they don't work, that's just too bad. That said, I installed the driver for my version of OS/X, rebooted, and plugged the MidiSport into the USB port. Nothing happened. The device...

    Replace Tascam M-300 series VU lamps with LEDs?

    As many of us are finding out, the 8V axial lamps are darned near impossible to find at a sane price. I'm considering replacing them with white LEDs, but I suspect it won't be a simple drop-in replacement. What circuit modifications would one need to make to get this to work? Thanks, Jim

    Overpriced thrift store junk!

    Now the thrift stores are taking a cue from greedy Fleabay sellers! :mad: I saw a beat-to-hell TEAC Model 5 in a flea market this weekend. Not only is it missing knobs and fader caps, some of the pot and fader shafts are broken off. Dude is convinced he's gonna get $1200 for it in that...

    Does changing tape formulations always require re-calibrating the deck?

    I want to practice mixing on some used UD 35 (900') and then print my final mixes on virgin RMGI LPR35 (1800'). The LPR35 is a substitute for UD-XL 35, not UD 35, but my owner's manual lumps the two Maxell tapes together in the same bias and eq switch settings. Would I still need to have the...
