Good for you, jjones...I was totally fine watching my 388 go down the road...the buyer was totally stoked and I was too having cash in hand to get something for my wife for our anniversary that I knew she'd NEVER ask for and would never buy for herself but totally wanted...polar opposites. It was right and good. I'm glad to have had the experience with the 388 but it just totally made no sense to keep it.
So what else do you still have? The Studiomaster 16 x 8 board? Any recorders? Probably at least one of the MD decks? You still playing guitar?
Hey Cory! Ever since the gear left my residence, I haven't really missed it. Then again, I don't do much recording at all now, so that might be part of it. My 5 year old takes up all my free time with martial arts, baseball, and who knows what else from day to day. I imagine at some point if I ever do decide to do any analog recording (past the capabilities of my 424mkII), I'll kick myself a little bit for letting the 388 go, but I'll cross that bridge if I get to that point.
I've come full circle and getting back into photography, which I've been into since I was very young. Kind of similar to analog equipment, I can get some of the lenses and equipment for cheap now that I could only dream of when i worked at various camera stores and photo labs 20 or so years ago. I still prefer film, but shoot digital for the day to day stuff, so analog isn't totally lost on me.
I've still got the Studiomaster 16x8. A friend of mine in Austin has it (along with my DP-02CF) to do some voice work and such. I didn't need two mixers sitting here (at the time), so I told her she could use it for as long as she likes. I am keeping my Pioneer RT-909 (2 of them, actually), Teac A4300SX, 424mkII (2 of 'em), 122b, and Nak MR-2. Until they a band in Austin comes back to pick up the 32, I still have it hanging around as well. Oh yeah, and you are correct, I do still have the MD-801RmkII, although the transport is messing up, but didn't they all?? I also have a DA-88, but it never worked since the time I got it, cheap, so I figure someone will want it for parts someday. Also hanging around is the DP-004. So as you can see, I still have plenty of stuff, but at least either somebody is putting some of it to good use, or I at least fire something up from time to time to use it on occasion. The only thing that I can say that I do want in the future is a Porta Two.
That's my story, what have you decided on your equipment? Sounds like you are either shelving or parting with some of it.
