    MXL 2001 "U87" front end mod

    here's some pix: The uploader is piece of crap: Here is the unmodified board. hte mod removes R10, R9, C6, Q2 (Labeled as D2) and moves C8. Also, I changed C2 (aka C4 on the mod schem) from 1000pf to 470pf, which is on the orig U87. If you compare the two schematics, they look a lot alike;

    MXL 2001 "U87" front end mod

    I know I started the 2006 thread, and that project is on hold until the capsule mounts come in which is starting to look like they'll come in slightly before my ship does.... So, in my boredom, i tore apart a 2001, stripping out the transistor output stage, swapping the 2:1 transformer for a...

    Not your average spring reverb

    Check this out: Hammond DR-20 Reverb Tank | eBay I found an article for a DIY reverb in an 1950 something Popular Electronics. The project is vague on the electronics, referencing a "driver coil" with no other description. I guess this is kinda what they had in mind....

Anyway. wasn't working consistently, took it apart, resoldered a wire that had somehow come off the slow/fast switch, sprayed some Blue Shower (contact cleaner) in teh switches and...

    TASPUNCH -- (Long shot)

    Anyone know if this can still be found anywhere or if the guy who wrote it exists in the netosphere? I have teh demo version which can be found different places, but it's shareware. Being able to do an automated punch in has some appeal, and I don't mind wiring a cable for it. I have the...

    MXL 2006 mod

    OK, Starting another mod thread for the masses. I know, it's all been done before. However, I'm taking a slightly different approach and swapping capsule and instead of upgrading the coupling cap --eliminating it. Otherwise, the rest of the caps in teh circuit look fairly decent. I have one...

    Mic comparison technique suggestions

    Hi, I'm in the beginning of a mic modding bender. So I have a handful of mics I want to A/B as in unmod, then modded. I've seen "Mic shootouts" that place two or even four in a up/down or fourway cross configuration. Looking for opinions on this. I'm not looking for perfect science here, just...

    Otari MX5050BII-2 RW/FF slows down and stops -- tension adjust howto??????

    Hello, Basically rewind or ff slows down to a crawl and then stops close to the end of the tape (depending on which way) or if you start a tape, get about 4 minutes in or so, you can't rewind reliably, sometimes it will start to rewind, or just not move at all if you hit rewind (brakes will go...

    Ampex 457

    First, did you buy the tape new and sealed or used? If sealed or if they are unused and still have the date code sticker on the tape, anything with a 1994 date or earlier is crap, do as above and trash it and admire the nice clean take-up reel (you can't have too many of those really.... and you...

    Quantegy GP9 "in a few weeks..."

    Well, I keep checking the site, out of curiosity. The Tweeter page says Gp9 coming "in a few weeks." 1/2" and 2" doesn't say if this is NOS or New production.

    Capsule type for mics for large Choir (children) recording (K67 or K47 type)

    Hello, I've never done this before. Recording a fairly large (100 or so) choir. I also don't have the right set if mics, but am acquiring enough parts to build a bunch of fairly basic but useful tube mics (U47 type circuit) which will be done in time. I can't facilitate overhead sdc's so...
