Once all the funds are in and transfered to China, I have some new mics, optical compressor, and mic pre that will be in the next GB all with the same savings as is displayed with this GB

so down for some optical compressors and/or pres-- thanks yet again chance!
 
Chance,
Can you let us know when you've sent out all of the PayPal requests. (I haven't got one yet. I want to be sure I'm not accidentally overlooked.)

Also, what is the cutoff date for submitting funds? (to keep people from holding everybody up.)

You read my mind. It gets me in a tizzy just thinking about ribbon mics....

Ahhhhhh that's some small consolation - the Godess of Fortune isn't smiling on me at this time :( so I cannot get in on this one...
 
Chance, you made it sound like you got swamped with a few hundred orders. Let us know if you need help with anything.

Otherwise, we do appreciate all the work and stress you must be investing into this.

Well . . . BBs are good opamps. You can't generalize about them though, because in the BB line TI probably makes 50 different opamps. The 2134 is a solid audio performer, nothing extremely sexy, but affordable, proven and stable. I have them either stock or modded in most of my gear.

Having said that, there is a lot of sales talk in that eBay listing. Now, I'm not gonna be the pot calling the kettle black, so I ain't going line by line. Suffice to say that the sound of a pre, especially a hybrid tube design, is not all opamp. the 2134 will be a big improvement from 4580, that I can guarantee. But I don't know the Behri's circuit to say if that makes a miraculous difference.

For example, the amount of gain is not a function of the opamp, that is set by the components in the circuit around the opamp. So if gain was increased, that is not a function of an opamp swap. Now CLEAN gain may have increased.

But I can also tell from the Behri's literature that there have to be other considerations. Behri says that the input stage is discrete, that could be a significant factor in the performance of the box. Or not, it's hard to say without digging in.

In any major mod, you've got to look at the power supply. Especially in Behri's case, where their gear is not noted for reliability.

If all of those pieces were considered in the mod, it could easily be worth the $100+ cost of the mod. If it's just an opamp swap . . . I am not sure, but I do suspect that the claim that no pre under $800 will compare is sales talk, not proven fact.

I have the ART Digital MPA, which is the Gold with a converter onboard. I have been using it almost daily for over a year, it's a solid versatile preamp. Nothing too glamorous, but it does what I need it to do. Without having used the modded Behri, I know from the switchable plate voltage on the ART that I'd really rather have full plate voltage.

Thanks for the eye opener, man. That all contributes to more educated decision making.
 
All orders are in but I have a lot of sessions this week. I should start sending out the Pay Pal requests around the first of next week. Maybe sooner.
 
Chance,

Perhaps you can... or are planning on sticking a note up once you've sent all the paypal requests. So if someone who is expecting one... doesn't get one... they can let you know. Just a thought.
 
whew...i was getting a little nervous about there not being anything from paypal in my email - good to know it'll be a couple more days
 
I'll post when I start the pay Pal process. I have a lot of projects going on here right now.
 
I'd like one of the 50$ ones...am I too late?
Can Paypal most immediately if there's a time constraint.

Thanks!

I figured there would be a few "Can I still get in?" posts. :rolleyes:

My suggestion (which is, of course, completely unofficial) is that you go ahead and send the email to Chance exactly as set forth in his instructions. If you get a Paypal request for payment from him next week, pay it. If you don't, then you'll have to wait for the next cycle. Don't make a big deal out of it either way.
 
Just a little update
Pay Pal will START sending "request for funds" this weekend

I'll definitely be interested in that.

As travis said, that pre/comp group buy will most definitely own. I'm game whenever you're done with this buy. Thanks again for doing this Chance, you're a super sport for going through all of this crap.

yep. Just got it this afternoon, and I already sent the money. :D
 
Same here. It came in about 15 minutes ago, sent out payment immediately.

Thanks Chance...
