You're probably right. Still, it seems the manufacturer is at least guilty of some pretty poor communication, or the customer's complaint wouldn't have ended up posted here.

If it's taking several months to turn around a unit, it sounds like they could do with a few less orders. Hopefully. I took it that the $1,000 was the full purchase price up front. Maybe that's wrong. In any event, you can actually make a pretty good profit by taking deposits up front and...

Although there's certainly less incentive to hurry when you already have the customer's $1,000 in your pocket.

That's kind-of what I was trying to say in a bit more dipomatic way. I owned one for about a day once. It went right back to the shop.

It seems that everyone is a bit hyper-sensitive lately to any questions or comments that might be directed at anyone from SP. Pins and needles.

Speck ASC.

Glad it worked for you, but I'd caution anybody else to try out a few other budget units as well before dropping the $$$ on a 266. The 266 isn't exactly the most, um, well, let's say "versitile" compressor ever made. Sounds like it was good for what you were doing though.

I think this could be a pretty good thread actually. Some of my favorite manufacturers include: Avalon - Great products, outstanding customer service. Echo Audio - Products are quite good for the money, and they are committed to legacy support (which, as far as computer products go, that says...

So, I take it you own one?

I'm getting some serious deja vu.

Now that's a sign of insanity.

Isn't the 2001 one of those mic's that works with all of the mic mods that have been published in Tape Op and the other recording mag's in the last year or so? You could look at it as buying a 603 and a project mic.

Am I alone in this or does anybody else automatically relate numbers they encounter in everyday life back to audio gear? I just looked at the clock and saw that it was 4:51. My mind automatically thought "AKG". If I'm dialing someone who's phone number is 456-1073, I instantly think...

Well, I wasn't going to say quite that. I don't have anything with variable impedence. I do have some pre's that seem to work far, far better with dynamics than something like a Mackie. The pre really does make a big difference. Because if you can come up with $750 to $1,000 for a pre, it...

What kind of a pre are you running those through?

Ooh yah, I want one of those! I honestly think I could be totally happy with a locker full of nothing but dynamic mic's (as long as you include ribbons in that).

I think he's just saying that people tend to think that a large diaphragm condensor is the only mic worth buying, when in fact that there are a lot of dynamic mic's that are highly underrated. I can understand why people would think that if they get thier information solely from recording...

You might want to check out some of the conversations from last month on Gearslutz when Dave Derr (the creator of the Distressor and other goodies) was guest moderator.

I think your 603 price is a bit high, but the C1000 price equals about $160 U.S. Isn't that actually fairly cheap compared to what they usually go for?

More like $360 new if you look around.
