What I said was in response to Mark mentioning me by name and our website, and the guy that I quoted was commenting on the pics on our site in response to Mark. Is that OT?

They are doing a really great job it seems especially in the last year with improving things here and there and coming out with wonderful new pieces like their nine polar pattern tube A-48. I wouldn't take them on if I didn't believe that they provided a quality product...nobody is twisting my...
I would definitely try an ADK A-48 or TT, both right around a grand. If you don't like them for some reason, then move on to something else. A quality condenser always sounds better on voiceover to my ears than a dynamic...although a dynamic through a quality preamp will do a decent job. Make...
Re: Rode and SP, lots of high end frequencies from my experience, and a scooped midrange. If you like this kind of thing then that's perfect, I personally don't. You're in a hard range being in the low budget side of things. The RNP is the best there is out there for not a lot of money. You...
When Mark says the RNP is noisey, it's like him saying a stock Porsche is slow. You have to know his reference point, and how high his expectations are to understand where he is coming from. The RNP is a fine preamp. Especially with most high output microphones today, you won't have any...
The Lynx come highly recommended (even by some other conversion companies often talked about). They seem to be a good company on many levels. I just wish one of these PC computer companies would come out with a motherboard with 8 PCI slots...PCI expanders seem like a cool idea, but I hear they...
That pretty much answers your own question right there. Some absorption and bass traps are most likely necessary in that case since small rooms have their own inherent troubles, but the biggest offender to your problem is going to be the carpet IMO. Every room that I hear that has low ceilings...
I never liked the API's on guitar amps, but maybe I'm in the minority. For guitars, I've always been a Neve guy or some variation of. I like a slower slew rate, and not as much mid range emphasis either (need more in the lows). My favorite guitar combo is the Great River NV combined with...
Not sure if you caught it, but I said specifically used. Examples from ebay.
Sennheiser 421, $150:

Sennheiser 441, $175 (reserve not met), there's an ended one that went for $200...
Sometimes the tools go beyond the engineer. Here's just one example from my personal experience: When I run a mix to the Ampex 2 track versus going to digital there is definitely a different sound there. The only difference being the tool, one way is a straight A/D off the board, one is...
That's what I was referring to. The pics at that link are meaningless as far as implying that they are immediately available. The D/A will be out first (it's on order right now), and streets for $900. The A/D is probably going to land sometime early fall (I'm hoping before the AES show)...
It's not even out yet...don't let the pretty pictures of the 2 channel A/D fool you. It's not going to be that much more than a Lucid either (at least tentatively for now).

Is that what someone's theory says, or what your ears tell you? If it's what your ears tell you then I respect that completely and that's totally your subjective call. All I know is that when I run a sm-57 or 421 through an NV on 1200 (vs 300), or through an RNP (which I think is about 5000...
