    Just paid way too much for an HP400EL.

    $125 incl shipping. Now I've publicly embarrassed myself thanks to you! But the seller indicates it's fully tested and functioning w/in specs. Doesn't say "calibrated" but I have a good working Fluke DVM to match voltage readings, and this is the one piece of essential gear I'm missing, other...

    Alignment question - meter calibration

    The result of posting a half-baked idea at midnight! I was hoping to use the tone generator on the board for meter and record alignment w/o having to calibrate the board.

    Alignment question - meter calibration

    It's late so I may be foggy: If I don't want to adjust the output on my board to a perfect .316v, and always normal 1-1&9, 2-2&10, etc., if a channel turns out to be off spec, is there any reason I can't just set 0VU on the board to equal 0VU on the deck, so that the meters match, and then go...

    Just paid way too much for an HP400EL.

    but it's a solid state HP, and it's been tested. So now I have an almost complete test rig! Wavetek 186 sig gen that will output a .316v signal, a nice Fluke 8050A DVM, and a Tektronix 2133 'scope. I have a 1/2" TEAC alignment tape. Need a 1/4" though. (The one I got is most likely sticky.) So...

    Putting together an analog studio at home

    I'm finally getting around to doing music again after a rather long absence. I'm strictly a hobbyist. I wouldn't know a high end piece of gear if it came up and stole my wallet. Depending on your budget, location, and stomach for fixing problems, you can do this. You're already talking used...

    M-Audio Audiophile + Virtualsynth = unusable latency,so use old PCI soundcards?

    Hello, Long story short, just want to do MIDI sequencing, so general MIDI is fine, once sequence is done, then use hardware synths (e.g. TX802) it's less work up front. Was using a Guillemot MaxiStudio, which actually worked great for this purpose, but I couldn't keep a Win98 box running, so...

    DIY Microphone kits?

    There's a circuit mod floating around too, it's on my todo list, but you change out the tube to a 12AY7 and swap the transformer. You also have to mod the PSU. ---------- Update ---------- I highly recommend GroupDIY: White Market

    Alesis 3630 VCA mod THAT2180 or THAT2181?

    Hi Dave! Actually, I'm just curious if anyone has done any of the mods. I just re-read the datasheet, and you need a signal generator (check, got one) but you need to measure THD. (I think you can do that in software? but haven't located freeware/demo) As an aside, I've also come across...

    Alesis 3630 VCA mod THAT2180 or THAT2181?

    Hi all, Been a while. Quick question if anyone has done the upgrade the VCAs to the Alesis? The mod calls for replacing hte VCAs with THAT2180s. However, AFAIK, the 3630 has trimmable VCAs. The 2180s are pre-trimmed. (Which would also necessitate removing a pot and a resistor) THAT 2181 would...

    Flower Pot Guy- Gone?

    We've had this debate before. The one thing that pisses me off is finding his shit ass shit showing up when I do searches, so it isn't that I'm pissed about his prices (I am) but for wasting my f*cking time. So, under advanced search you can scroll down and there is a place for show items from...

    Maybe time for big changes

    I've meant to pm you to see how things were going. I've been real scarce around here lately, not trying to hijack a thread here, but getting priorities in order, and looking around and asking myself WTF? with all the (excessive) gear I have and never really get / take the chance to use. It is...

    WD40 on SSS and/or LOL non-backcoated tape? Really?

    OK, There's a lot of folks over there (Tapeheads.net) that put car polish on sticky tape to unstickify it. :eek: Someone else has tried WD40 for the same thing, not only for SSS tapes, but for older non-backcoated tapes. I'm not about to put car polish or whatever the hell is WD40 (which for...

    TapeandTape Opportunist thief

    Thread revival. He's getting some positive press at Tapeheads.net. Or at least "he seem like a great guy." or "I bought some tape from him...." I was much too gentle in my response.

    You can usually negotiate with pawn shops as well, which is cool.
