Well, fwiw, I have the V67G and love it. Several years back I purchased the TB1 from PMI as B-Stock and loved it. After the tube went out I decided to get a new tube but also pick up this V67G which Harvey said was a good pick for me. I'm soooo glad I did. Now I can use one mic for the...

Bass ports Since I am adding acoustic panels to my room for tracking vocals and mixing, should I place any behind my MX5a speakers? They have the ports in the back. I have them about 18" out from the wall placed in the normal "triangle" from my listening chair. If I put a single panel of 703...

Hey guys, Just moved into our new house and I'm finally ready to start adding more acoustic panels. First, the monitors I'm using right now are M Audio BX5a. They have small holes(ports?) in the back which I'm not sure how they affect where I put the panels. I have a very compact set-up with...

Thanks for the idea. I'll have to check those out.

Great ideas Harvey. BTW, I PM'ed you yesterday about my TB1 going out. It's back up working better than ever but I still wonder about the ACM583 being OK for a backup FET mic. Since this thread was about 'auditioning' a mic and you did just that a some time ago on the ACM583 I thought you...

It's Working You guys really helped. I know it sounds silly but just having a bit of support helped me change the tube and voilà, no more noise and it sounds better now than when I first got it. I went into the local Sam Ash right after church, gave the guy the number you, Wade, recommended...

Went to Radio Shack and got a cleaner for electronics. Cleaned the tube contacts, tried it again, but still the noise is there. The tube lights, but will have to try another tube later. Until then I'll just have to get a backup mic in case this happens again. These little projects need to sound...

Just opened the mic up for the first time. Cannot see any build up or residue on capsule. Tube looks OK. Took it out and will clean it after I get something to clean it. No indication of tube type though. Will keep you posted.

Thanks guys for the help. I just tried it out after leaving it in front of a 60w light bulb for about 18 hours or so and still the sound is there. I think it is the tube, but I'll try to take it apart and clean the tube contacts as suggested and maybe try to find another tube. Any ideas for a...

dgatwood I will try the light bulb again tonight and leave it for about 24 hours. PhilGood It may be just the tube. When I first got it, it was B stock but that was 2 years ago so the warranty was for just a year. I noticed a bit of this sound when I first got it, but everyone said that it was...

I just started to work on a new project and my TB1 is making a fluttering sound. I tried it through another board but it still makes the noise. I'm sure it's the mic. I also keep it in plastic with a silicone bag so I don't see how moisture could be the problem. Any idea on what could be...

Thank Chance for letting us know about Randy's skills at mastering! I'm looking for someone to work with when the that time comes and I'd just as soon help him out. I would like to hear a clip of before and after too!:D Earl

Hey Chance & Randy, I hate to ask this question but:D....will we have until May 12th to pay our invoice? I'm still wanting to purchase the mic I have on order but the money will not be here until then. I don't want to cause everyone to have to wait for me though. THANKS! Earl

Randy & Chance, How much time will we have once you get the invoicing back up again to make payment? Trying to crunch some numbers.:D Thanks Earl

This is all great news guys. My wife and I prayed for the last 2 days that this Paypal junk would get cleared up and Chance would get his money released to pay his tax bill. Now we have just added you, vicenzajay to that prayer list, hope you don't mind:). Please keep us posted on how things are...
