    MXL UR-1 ribbon USB mic

    This thing is so expensive for an MXL mic that no one seems to have actually tried it out. $499 at B&H or Amazon. I won an auction on ebay tonight for $75, which seems more reasonable. It has a built in pre-amp that is billed as low noise and a headphone jack for low latency monitoring. It...

    Pair Peluso CEM-6

    I have two Peluso CEM6 mics. They are each in spiffy wooden boxes. They are like new. I used them exactly once. They work perfectly, but I am thinning the herd for GAS. $450 for the pair, shipped. Paypal preferred.

    Sennheiser MD541/441 FS

    This mic was recently checked by Sennheiser USA, and was declared to be in perfect operational condition. Cosmetically it is pretty clean. There are small dents in either side of the screen where someone tried to put a clip down there, I guess. I think it is a 541, as it is all black, and has...

    Bought some drums...

    ...so they had theis 70s vintage slingerland set at the local GC. 23" kick, 16x16 floor tom, 13 and 12 inch rack toms - no snare. They are gloss white, with a pearl ring around the kick. They were $250. Anyone use these or have fond memories? This will eventually (when I get the snare...

    recone?

    Does anyone have experience with reconed oxford speakers in Fender amps? Do they sound as good as the originals? I know Oxfords are not well loved.

    reverb pedal

    I've got a few (ok, 4) guitar amps without reverb. Anyone have any luck with reverb pedals? A friend of mine had the EH Holy Grail, but he said it was very noisy. Ideally, I would like a spring reverb emulator that would be cheaper than buying an actual Fender reverb, reissue or original.

    Gibson quality - dead horse

    I have been feeling GAS for an ES-175 lately. A local place (House of Guitars) used to be a Gibson dealer before Gibson screwed all of their dealers. They sold off all of their stock, but they have one left - a red ES-175. It sounded really nice, but there were a few pretty serious and...

    noise gates for guitar

    Has anyone had any luck/experience with pedal noise gates for guitar for live use? My Strat makes an ungodly hum (even though it is well shielded) when I have my overdrive pedal on. Do they suck much tone?

    stingray guitar preamp

    I have a 1978 musicman stingray I guitar that I bought on the bay a couple of years ago. When it was built it had an onboard preamp that gave active two band eq. When I got the guitar it had a Mighty Mite preamp that I don't think was original and didn't work. I removed the preamp, replaced...

    Cool Robin Trower Video

    I found this over at the Marshall Forum. I loved Trower back in the day. I think he still sounds great. JCM800 (maybe) + Fulltone wah and univibe - awesome tone. Trower Video

    Is there only one V77?

    I remember reading here that Harvey was crazy about V77's. I see them for sale from time to time, but I worry that MXL reissued some inferior newer version of it. Anyone know?

    Inexpensive mic closest to U87

    I know the U87 is much maligned, and that many Chinese mics have capsules that are similar. Which do you thing sounds the closest, say in the sub $500 range?

    Another RE20 vs RE27ND thread

    I am waiting for my new (to me) RE27ND toarrive in the mail. In the mean while I have been doing a little research. I have heard the 27 is brighter, and looking at the frequency plot bears this out. Interestingly, however, it looks like the frequency response of the 27 when the high cut...

    C391B vs C451B

    I just won an AKG C391B on Ebay ($179). It appears to be similar to the C451B, in that it is a self polarized (I think this means back-plate electret) SDC. It has interchangeable capsules, and comes with the CK91 cardioid capsule. Anyone have a chance to compare the two?
