    388 parts needed or buy my parts deck?

    I was piggy backing on another thread and decided to start a new one. I picked up a 388 locally for a hundred bucks from the original owner. Said it had been sitting for years. Said it worked great the last time he used it. He tried to demo it and the trnsport slowed down to a crawl. I figured...

    lightweight live vocal mic

    My dynamics are causing my 2 foot long flexible stand extender to droop. Any recommendations for something lighter? don't want to use an arm. For live voice. I'm going to refrain from the obvious jokes. I noticed that few published specs include the weight. thanks

    group buy?

    I just had a thought.... I'm participating in the microphone group buy, and was wondering about a guitar group buy. Or course i am in no way volunteering to organize it, too busy right now. I suppose you could just buy an agile or bryce import, they are certainly cheap enough. Thing is, i...

    boss br8 studio

    Hi, All in one 8 track digital studio. Newer, shinier, boxes have come along with better specs, but this one still has my favourite user interface. Still have all the docs, a ton of zip disks, and the original packaging so it would be easy to ship. Exellent condition. $200 or offer or trade...

    new art usb pre

    What do you guys think? What does "all new" mean as far as preamp sound? Better opamp? I have to say, at this price point, my common sense meter reads: " don't expect too much"

    tascam 388 vs korg d1600mk

    Ouch, don't flame me. I'm considering go'in analog. Here's my question. Without starting a religious war, and taking into consideration which part of the forum i'm posting this, which sounds "better"? Keep in mind, all of my favorite music was recorded in the 1950's and 60's. I just started...
