    Emu 1820

    I am thinking of getting either the 1820 or 1820M as an all in one solution. Could someone comment on the quality of the mic pre's . Also, does the DSP effects applies to recording as well, or just for playback ? thanks

    How could you tell if it's a "real" one ? I could sell one right now and say I bought it 5 years ago or something like that and noone could tell.

    I quoted this to remind me to do this mod. If the original poster could elaborate a bit more on this for me, particularly about the capacitor, I would appreciate that very much. Thanks

    GC blowing out Oktava

    I just bought a 319. I went to GC to look for a 2500, but it's not easy to find anymore. They have tons of 319 left. So far it's an OK mic. $50+ tax, not so bad. Can't return it. I wonder how better is the MKL2500. I might be able to find one after they repair the defective one (power supply).

    Emu 1820

    I need a good weighted keyboard, with the flexibility of soft synth. And I think the KX88 is probably the least expensive option, buying used on EBAY. What do you think ?

    Vacuum Tubes for Mics

    I was looking into this, I saw that quite a few people swap the tube of the MXL V69ME with $12 Groove 12AT7 Tube and they are very happy with the tremendous improvement. Some said the tubes in NTK is already good, unless you swap with very expensive NOS tubes.

    Tube mic preamps

    I have an Art MP StudioV3, and I read that you could swap the tube for a JJ ECC803s, the swap the op-am and the capacitors, and you will get a nice respected little amp. That's what I will do eventually, step by step. The V3 option is cool. It' built pretty rugged. I don't have much...
