I have three questions: I am trying to decide between two guitars - The Fender 50th Anniversary American Stratocaster and the Fender American Vintage '57 Stratocaster. The 50th Anniversary is about $200 less. I have played them both, and I think they're both really nice. That's the problem. I...

I have been admiring a Cort LCS-1, at a very reasonable price. Does anyone have any opinions? I did a search and saw that one person, AlChuck, really liked his. I was glad to see that, but that was well over a year ago. Still out there, Al? I would like to know if the guitar is still OK and if...

Does anyone know where to find information on older amps? I just bought a Yamaha thirty115B bass amp and I would like to find out more about it. I can tell it's a thirty watt-er with one 15" speaker, but when were they made and how were they regarded? It sounds really nice, very quiet.

Odd behavior with my CDRW-5000: I record onto a CD-R and finalize the disc. I press play, and it doesn't play. The display shows it's on track 1, but there's no time data. After about 10 seconds it says 'No Disc'. I open the door, close the door, same thing. Power down, turn it back on, same...

Anyone familiar with the Lexicon 286 tube preamp? There's a used one at a a local store that's been sitting for a while. Looks nice, and the longer I look at it, the more I want to buy it (human nature). I searched this bbs and couldn't find anything other than people listing it in their...

I was interested in archiving recordings from my D824, so I felt lucky when I saw an Iomega Zip100 in the back (junk) room at the office. I spent $15.00 on a SCSI cable that would connect the two and scrounged up a couple of disks. Everything hooked up nicely and I formatted a couple of disks in...

OK, so now I'm digital with the D824, but what is the best way to archive my projects? The Fostex CD burner and their DAT recorder both do the job, but in reading the manual it looks as though these will not work at the 24 bit/96 kHz fidelity. An external ZIP drive seems to be the way to go, has...

My 8 track cassette portastudio has both stereo and monitor outs. I have connected the stereo outs to the tape in connections on my stereo receiver and I listen to the recordings through my stereo like a regular tape player. I master to CD using a Tascam CD recorder connected to the tape out...

How much of a difference does the tube make in a microphone? You certainly pay a premium for a tube mic over a high quality condenser. Is it worth it? Using an 8 track cassette recorder, will I notice the diff?

I am considering the purchase of a Shure KSM32 for general home studio use: vocals, acoustic instruments, percussion, etc. It would essentially be my only mic, as the other that I have is a cheap Radio Shack. I thought that I would run it up the homerecording.com flagpole before I make the...

I recently got a Yamaha 8 track cassette. In the manual, they indicated that the guitar should be connected to a 'guitar processor' and then into the deck. What is a guitar processor? I plug the guitar into an amp and then come through a jack in the back of the amp to the deck, but the sound is...
