    Rack Cooling

    I'm planning to build a desktop short rack cabinet for one preamp, reverb and power strip. How much space should I leave between my rack units for adequate cooling. I notice that my Tampa has cooling gills on the top of the cabinet so I'm guessing that that quite a bit of heat wants out.

    Tampa SPDIF

    I'm looking at getting an M-Audio Tampa. Is the SPDIF in and out appreciably better than using the analog in on my 2496 card? I'm assuming that the converters would be pretty similar since M-Audio made both units. All the positive comments about the Tampa have me about convinced but I'd like to...

    Firebox or DMP3

    I want to update my preamps. I record nylon string guitar with MXL 603s (90% and DI bass 10%). Considering that I'm more guitar player than engineer, would I be happier with the Firebox, DMP3 preamp into my current M-Audio 2496 or with an up-scale preamp like the Eureka?

    Cordoba Guitars

    I'm looking at the Cordoba CWES and RCWES guitars, mainly for recording. Has anyone used these guitars straight into the board with no mics? People tell me that the Fishman system is the best right now for nylon string guitars and I'd welcome any feedback.

    Rolland Jazz Amp

    Does anyone have experience with the Rolland Jazz Amp? A local store has a used one in pretty good shape. Many seem to be pleased with the Cube Rollands and I'd like to have something simple and clean, no distortion etc needed. Thanks.

    Nylon Strings

    I just re-strung my recently purchased guitar with DeAddario strings and it sounds like a Telecaster on steroids with lots of finger noise. I don't know what the factory put on but I wish I had 'em back. What strings are you using for nice, mello bass? Have any of you experimented with...

    Nylon String Amp

    I use a nylon string guitar with a piezo pickup and have been playing it through our church pa system. Although our pa is a good one with lots of power, I don't like the flat sounding tone of my guitar plugged in straight and would like to buy a small and LIGHTWEIGHT amp to mike through the...

    Country Gentleman

    I've owned and used a Gretsch Country Gentleman since 1970. I bought it used and am hoping that some of you might help me find the year it was made (serial #77749). It was made before Gretsch began opening up the f holes and does not have Chet's name on the pickguard. Thanks.
