    Building a new patchbay, need a little advice on cabling

    Don't worry over it too much, get some Gepco single pair install or snake cable (I like it better than Belden et. al. far as tinned copper cond/foil shield cable goes, good price and strips better/cleaner) or if you have more coin to spend, check out the Gotham Audio GAC-2/1 install cable, high...

    I want to cry....

    Sorry you missed the auction, that's a good price IF you have a PSU for it and I do loathe snipers, but that being said...you didn't really miss anything, right? ;) ;) If it's really burning a hole in your pocket, I'll gladly take that 162 bucks off your hands ;) ;) Moresound does make a...

    MCI JH-636 Story

    Hehe, don't worry SWEETBEATS, it happens to the best of us. I put in a marathon console re-capping session the last couple days, pile of fader packs and a few channel modules trying to get a section done before an overdub session today. Got to the session early, stuck everything back in the...

    Constructive feedback on my setup thus far?

    It depends some on how you're working of course, but a couple things jump out at me. One is that you've got your monitors symmetrically mounted on the wall for midfield monitoring, but the console up against the wall and in a corner, meaning that if you're sitting centered at the console...

    CONGRATS, Cory! I can appreciate the great feeling you will get every time you walk into the room, see the console and sit down at it to enjoy the fruits of your labor. Your attention to detail is enviable and that board looks fantastic! Now let's find out how it sounds! :D

    MCI JH-416 Story...

    Ohhh I hate you! :D GREAT scores there and especially that computer case! You're right, first thing I thought was that the color is pretty close to the MCI "van dyke brown" IIRC! Since your Sountracs seems to have come to beautiful fruition, I guess it's on to the 416 now eh? :D ;) :D

    Analog recording something for the youth ? Or older nostalgia ?

    There's no question that the tactile experience is a very important element of analog equipment, whether it's cleaning and threading tape paths, cueing a turntable stylus on a record, turning real knobs, or the sensation of hearing and seeing backlit mechanical meters flick around. Even if...

    Oh sure, twist the knife. Twist it! :D What was the 1" tape and what you gonna do with it when you go 2"? :D I like the Quantegy 499 quite well, the stuff I've used is solid. Haven't heard of 499 failures even Ampex-branded, presumably it doesn't suffer the same binder failures as the 456...

    Wanna reverse the yellowing of your plastic knob and switch caps?

    Now this is a cool tip, thanks! Does the bath take care of dirt/grime too, or is it advisable to give the parts a scrubbing first?

    Aw man, that's a bummer! On the grounds that they weren't what was expected or wanted, I would just send them back while you have the opportunity to do so.
