How do I buy matched pairs when I've got 6 tubes I'm meaning to change? Are the six tubes somehow paired together? Thanks.

Off craigslist. 150 bucks! Peavey Deuce. Got good reviews on harmony: One thing I don't like is there's no distortion. I guess I'll have to get a pedal. What's a good distortion pedal? I play garage-rocky stuff. So what's up with the pre gain and post gain? Does that refer to preamp gain...

I need a good amp, mine sucks. I've got plenty of cash all of a sudden and am wanting a decent tube amp. Any thoughts on this one? How much should I pay for one used thats in good shape?

I've been getting into basic electronics, and want to try to actually make something, and have been learning a bunch and how to read schematics etc and had a few questions: http://sound.westhost.com/p29_fig1.gif So one thing that confuses me is that I see the + and the - of the power supply...

I have no expirience with ribbons. I found one for a good deal, but it has a really small hole near the top of the ribbon. I shouldn't even consider getting it, right?

I'm willing to pay up to 500 bucks for a used tube amp. Is this a realistic pricerange for a nice tube amp? It's ok if your suggestions are a little above that. I'm inexpirienced when it comes to this. The only amp I have was part of a cheapo starter kit. It sucks. I get distortion even when the...

I record accoustic guitar and high vocals. That's just about it for right now. Do you think placing bass traps in the corners of my room really would do much? Oh, and one more question. I have a huge living room with like 20 foot slanted ceilings. It's a big room. Would this be good for...

I hung up some 703, and it did nothing to helpw with the terrible flutter. Do I need more, or am I not covering vital parts, like corners? Please don't give bass trap advice, this is only for mid high freqs for now, seing I'm having enough trouble as it is ;) The 703 is wrapped up. There are 4...

hey, anyone have any good suggestions for a reverb unit? I've had my eye on the Fostex 3180, but have no idea if it's decent or not. Thanks!

I know there is a "Show me your Studio!" thread, but it's huge and usually just hang out here, and since lots of you have helped me for months and months now, even back when I didn't know what a pinch roller was, I thought you may enjoy my "work in progress" setup. I'm still not done seting...

And of course it has to do with Otari, like always :D So this guy is trying to sell me an Otari mx7800, a rather rare and less heard of model, unlike the 5050 series. It's another 8 track, but is 1"! This guy want's to sell it to me for 200 bucks! BUT the capstan motor is shot. As far as my...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7418220472&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&rd=1 This is the 2nd time I've had to list this. At first I took it down because someone in my area said he'd pay 435 for it cash, but NEVER SHOWED UP! :mad: :rolleyes: So if you want it, you can...

They both seem to be pretty big in their industry. People seem to like neutrik more than switchcraft. Why? My impression is that there can't possibly be any real audiable difference between the two. Does it have to do more with reliability and easy assmebly?

I've got a 10 by 17 foot room. I acidentally put 14 where I was supposed to put 17. And am going to organize the room for my studio. I need to know the best place to put my monitors/ workplace. Is this the best way? It's either that for trying to put the stuff up against the 17 foot wall...

I was trying to convert my tape to digital. I was kind of cheating though, my recorder has a headphones out, and I used that to run directly into the 1/8" stereo on my CPU. This is a cheap, unprofessional way to do it, right? http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=372882 listen...

I'm in a huge room, with an grand piano. I've got 2 LDC's on it, and wether I mic it close up or far off, it ALWAYS sounds like crap, very far away and not clear at all. Any suggestions would be great, thanks!

What's a good gauge for 1/4" cables? Is 13 ok? My understanding is it's ok if it's too thick, but bad if it's too thin? Thanks!

My signal chain is :Mic>Pre>Reel to reel recorder. So there is both the pre's meters and the recorders meters I have to adjust. It's hard to get them both at a place where my accoustic sounds good when played back. At first I tried getting really close to the mic at the 12th fret about 6"...

oops sorry.
