i would love a chance update. i know its wishful thinking but are the makers of these pieces of crap gonna make good on anything.

i will be selling 2 of my -81-s group buy mic pres. just looking what i paid plus shipping and what i paid for the transistor mod parts that i installed. 225$ each thanks! let me know .

awesome antichef! newark electronics has the transistor parts listed without the "6" at the end of the number. is this o.k.?

any step by step info for the transistor swap on the 81-s.

i noticed if i moved a mic near the output xlr cable going to the mixer i got more hum. i guess you need to seperate any cables. this is getting crazy.

my 2 81-s have the single brass screw missing. i wonder if its supposed to be this way or if its a problem. also anyone have a link to purchase the trasistors or any extras for sale. let me know.

used the 73 on vocals and its got a nice color to it. very happy~. does the acm 2 come with a clip. i didnt get one.

mine has the dent on top too. its not as perfect round as yours and not as deep but now that you mention it it looks like crap. i guess im gonna have to smooth it out with a dowel or drum stick pushing from the inside. i also had to take mine apart to fix the switches. they didnt move at all. i...

when i log in it says invoice not available... did everyone get there shipping bill or just some?

got the E-Mail and i need a 2x thanks Chance!!!!!!

gun metal blue works for me. i would never ever take painted aluminum over anodizzeed.as long as the plates are done from the same batch they should all be the same color. thats what the guy at home depot told me. YEAH THATS THE TICKET.

i dont know what your talking about. anodize is a hard as nails process. gun receivers and many high wear type items are done in this process. by nature paint doesnt like aluminum and it has to be prepped before being painted.painted aluminum doesnt compare to anodize. read the last line...

jealousy will kill a man. i sold all my studio projects years ago because i swallowed alot of hype. go chance!

i hope its annodize and not paint. it will wear much better.

im taking the simplicity approach. i dont want eq knobs to fiddle with. i wanna get it great at the source. i have to agree that strapping extras on a circuit has to change it in some way. im down for a couple 73-s. if the price drops maybe try one of the others.
