Fascinating museum of pre-tube mechanical amplification... http://www.dself.dsl.pipex.com/MUSEUM/COMMS/trumechamp/trumechamp.htm

Searching for information on these is a nightmare here, so I'm going to ask directly. My ambition since teenhood has been to use and own a wide format multitrack tape recorder, and the money is slowly coming together for one. I know I'll be wanting a 2" machine, with 16 track heads, XLR inputs...

This is an experiment, mixing down from analog into the box. Drum machine is crap, vocals need a retake, but opinions welcome... http://media.putfile.com/excoriate

Just got the world's cheapest bass from 123. Fifty bucks gets you a pretty decent P-bass copy, a totally lousy cord, and allen wrenches. The truss rod needed loosening, but that's about it. They're solid wood, the fretwork is actually pretty good, and the whole thing is about the best deal I've...

Around the middle of Arkansas, I heard a midnight album, Little Feat's Dixie Chicken. It was new to me, and completely blew me away with the great sound, in particular the drums...

Howdy! I have a really old and beat tape delay, an Ecco-fonic. I know this isn't the effects forum, but I think tape guys would be the ones to ask...I got the thing with a truly ancient tape in the cartridge, so I refilled it with some ampex 361 I had laying around, just to make sure that the...
