Mr Funk I am looking at buying a Goldmike. What I have found in researching is that the people that have this unit are big fans, but there seems to be not many of them made and the price is steadily going up on them. The Goldmike whent up in price in the UK I believe after there introduction...

well I decided against the 586. I want to get something with charactor, and replace my dbx 386. I am looking at the spl goldmike or the tlaudio pm-1. Any views on these preamps, or suggestions?

I would have snatched up the 586 for the price, but I have heard very little good about it, but most of this "bad press", seemed to come from people that had never used it, or were accustomed to much more expensive gear. But if the pre sounds only marginally better than my 386, I would save my...

I can get a good deal on a used 586 with installed NOS tubes. It would be fair bit less than the rnp. I have read a lot of varied reviews on the 586 pres, from great praise (Prorec), to mediocre. I have a grace 101 (very happy with) Voicemaster pro (very happy with) dbx 386 (i like the...

I really appreciate my nt1000. I find it very detailed. some mics sound ok with a single track, but seem to loose "focus" in a mix. I have never had this problem with this mic. I especially like it when paired with my grace 101. I have an Rode ntk as well, I would say this mic is every bit...

rockem, I would consider as richard has suggested the dbx 386. I got mine used for $300. Well worth it, especially for the converters. (There are some on ebay in that price range right now) Richard Monroe, I have found, like you indicated, that the tube thing just messes up the sound. Have...

Yes they ship. Just don't bother emailing them (they don't respond to emails well) Just call them and order.

pdaniels, If you decide to go with the voicemaster pro (which I would have no problem recomending), I would check out saved by technology http://www.savedbytechnology.com/ (look under featured products, then micpreamps) It is going for $854 Canadian. Since your outside of Ontario, you only pay...

Thanks for your replies teknomike, roman and regebro, I guess I just got comparing my soldering job to my mic cables that I had purchased pre-made, and they all had a mound of solder over the whole connection point, so I thought I might have done something wrong. Thanks again for your...

What I like about the nt1000 with a guitar, is the way the guitar sits in the mix. It is not my first choice for when the guitar is the main part of the song, but when you want to have the acoustic to cut through the mix, without a pile of effects or eq, the nt1000 really shines. It is bright...

Thanks for the replies, Roman, No there is no hiss, etc. I can't say there is anything wrong with them, but then again I thought the Radio Shack cables were fine until I made my own and heard the difference (no hiss). here is what I did right - Heat up the cable end with the iron for a...

When I first got into recording I made a bunch of cables from canare cable and neutrik ends. My soldering job was less than spectacular. The solder melted into the wire and surounding contact point, instead of a "mound" to cover the connection point. What I am woundering is, how serious is...

jslator, I don't know if the pre is of a different design, but there have been changes to make the unit more quiet (and they succeeded with this, it is very quiet). The voisemaster pro is the first focusrite product I have had a listen to, and the pre is very good. When I got it, I wasn't...

Kryogh, I use my voicemaster pro almost all the time for snare. The expander gives exceptional issolation, and the rest of the unit (tube, eq, vintage, etc.) gives a huge amount of flexibility for getting just the right sound. If I had two (hmm . . .) I would definitely use it for the kick as...

Kryogh, I just bought some stuff from http://www.8thstreet.com I had my stuff shipped to the US, and I will just go over the border and pick the mics up. I didn't ask if they would ship to Canada, but I could not see it being a problem, if they would sell to me with a Canadian credit card and...

I have a voicemaster pro and love it. I have a grace 101 as my referance preamp, and I like the focusrite pre every bit as much (for different things). I bought the voicemaster for a cd I am recording for my wife. Her voice is smooth and easy listening, for her the voicemaster pre works much...

Antz_Marchin, I tried to email them (three times and never got a response). I finally called them up, and they were great. I had my order done in a matter of minutes and my voicmaster pro arived a few days later. I would give them a call.

http://www.ontariostaging.com ambi, They have the rnc for basicaly the same price as the US stores. With tax and shipping it is just a little over $300 (if you are out of the province of Ontario). If you got one for 175 in the US add exchange, 15% duty and your over $300 (plus you will...

davidlim88, I just actually recorded some accoustic tracks tonight with the nt1000. I would like to tell you that I used some unique placement to get the perfect sound, but that just isn't the case. I had the mic 10-12 inches from the guitar at the point were the neck joins the body and turned...

I have an nt1000 and a NTK and they both work great on accustic. The song I am currently working on, I used the nt1000 on an accustic just for a rough track to get the project started. This recording even though I was not trying to "do it right" came out better than any accustic recording I...
