It doesn't work that way with advertisers. The problem is that so many of the "tm" marks are contestable. You can't search a registry to determine ownership. Alan says he owns Ted Fletcher's name; Ted Fletcher says Alan doesn't - an advertiser isn't expected to make that determination and...

So he's got a form letter to threaten frivilous lawsuits against numerous people that he has no legitimate claim against. That somehow makes it better than a "one-off"?

That's easy, in chronological order: 1. Harmony Central had been a pretty good community until Alan started spamming it with claims about how his new VTB-1 preamp was "just as good as any Neve or API at a fraction of the price". HC essentially turned from a discussion board into a PMI sales...

So, if Alan is a victim of Ted Fletcher's deeds, that justifies him attacking Steve? That's such bullshit! Maybe I just get more upset about this kind of crap than other people do because I see it so often. There's very little that gets under my skin as much as someone threatening a...

My point is that people are missing the point. Alan's threats against ozraves can't be justified on the basis that Alan might have a legitimate beef with Ted Fletcher.

And how, exactly, does that make MojoPie liable for trademark infringement for publushing a TFPro advertisement? Sorry, but whether or not Alan has a legitimate claim against TFPro and Ted Fletcher is irrelevant. He does *NOT* have any legitimate claim against MojoPie and ozraves. I'd be very...

I just checked it out. That was a seriously bizarre response to Luke Kaven's question about the lack of follow-up on review units. Here's the link: http://www.recording.org/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=38;t=000008

You might want to try a DMP3. There's no tube in it, but it's pretty cheap and will sound a lot better than any of those "faux tube" things.

I'd suggest starting with a "warm" source then. On the other hand, if you want to add "muck" to your recordings, any of the above will work fine. What are you using right now?

Ah, shit. Just for a split second I thought you were referring to the LA-2A, not the MMP-2.

...particularly in that price range. There is some realy nice "all in one" stuff for mucho $$$, but if you're of more modest means (as most of us are) you're typically better off spending more on something with fewer features. If you need a pre first and foremost, I'd concentrate on that...

I'd go for a DMP3 over a VTB-1. So would a lot of others, apparently: http://www.homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?threadid=90656

And a lot of rock guys like the LA-2A. Neither bear much relation to a dbx 266 though.

IMNSHO, it's "big brother" the 166 is OK on some things as long as you are going for a very dark and obviously-compressed sound, but the 266 is just plain unworkable. Save yourself some headaches and get an RNC. Even some of the cheap Behringer stuff sounds a lot better to my ear than the 266.

That's good news. So, are you getting major label interest yet? :)

You ain't kiddin'! There's no bottom on those at all. That makes them of more limited application, but they're still really cool on some things (like drum overheads when you want mostly cymbals). Great mic. Also check out the M130, which is the figure-8 brother to the hypercardioid M160...

I hope it's good too. More good preamps can only make the world a better place. :) It's encouraging that Bowisc likes it. I give his opinion a lot more weight than Kurt's. Supposedly Sebatron promised to send a review unit to Fletcher and one to "Dot" quite some time ago, but they haven't...

I can't imagine anyone flaming Sebatron's products based on either of the threads I linked to. The first one had to do with Sebatron's marketing, not their products. The second had nothing to do with Sebatron, but rather Kurt Foster.

I wouldn't buy a cheeseburger on the strength of a Kurt Foster review, much less a preamp. The Sebatron might be great, but Foster is an ignoramus. Check this out if you have any doubts: http://www.recording.org/cgi-local/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=21;t=001174
