That oughta count for SOMETHING!!!!!! Give the man a bone....er...I mean a mic!!! :D:D
 
And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.

I have a dream today!

I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, and every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight; "and the glory of the gear shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together."²

This is our hope, and this is the faith that I go back to the console with.

With this faith, we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith, we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith, we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will have gear one day.

And this will be the day -- this will be the day when all of Chance's children will be able to sing with new meaning:

My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing.

Land where my fathers died, land of the Pilgrim's pride,

From every mountainside, let our gear sing!

And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true.

And when this happens, when we allow our gear to sing , when we let it sing from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all home recordists, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual:

Gear at last! Gear at last!

Thank Chance Almighty, we have gear at last!
 
Great Group Buy News!

TNC announce Custom wound transformers for TNC microphones, at Group Buy Special Prices!

TNC have now aranged to offer transformers custom designed and hand wound for specific models of the TNC microphones. Also in the works are drop-in replacement electronics that will be designed to even better utilise the capabilities of the stock capsules, and also to integrate with certain of the custom transformers.

Transformers are designed and manufactured by AMI/TAB-Funkenwerk in Gaylord, Kansas, by Mr. Oliver Archut.

Electronics are being custom designed by Lucas Engineering technicians. They will be manufactured in the USA or the Bahamas, and will be available soon. We will also have available upgraded "pre-modified" microphones in each style, at some point in the near future.


TRANSFORMERS:

*Model ACM 1/2 ($75) This transformer is purposefully made for exact replacement in the ACM-1 or the ACM-2 ribbon mics.

*Model ACM3 ($65) Exact upgrade replacement for the ACM-3 ribbon mic.

(The stock ribbon mics all now share the same stock Chinese transformer. The replacement transformers have the same exact ratio, but the resonance and the high end response are tuned for each given mic.)

*Model T14-1200 ($75) Exact drop in replacement for stock ACM-1200. No electronics modifications necessary.

*Model T14-C12 ($75) Replacement transformer for ACM-1200, but can only be coupled with the custom C12-based electronics PC board upgrade (now in design by Lucas techs, but based on Oliver's original design parameters for the C12VR upgrade electronics).

(The T14-1200 transformers are based on the Hiller T14-C12 transformer (ratio 12 to 1), as used in early C12 mics, but have the ratio of 9 to 1 as used in the stock ACM-1200.)

*Model T47 ($85) Replacement transformer for ACM-1200 with U47-like transformer characteristics (BV8), but can only be coupled with the custom "47" electronics PC board upgrade (now in design by Lucas techs, and based on a simplified 47-inspired electronics circuit).

*Model T49 ($85) Replacement transformer for ACM-1200 with UM49-like transformer characteristics, but can only be coupled with the custom "49" electronics PC board upgrade (now in design by Lucas techs, based on a simplified 49-inspired electronics circuit).

*Model T67 ($90) Replacement transformer for ACM-1200 with U67-like transformer characteristics, but can only be coupled with the custom "67" electronics PC board upgrade (now in design by Lucas techs, based on a simplified 67-inspired electronics circuit).

(The 47-49-67 transformers are based on a Neumann-inspired transformer. They come in the three different ratios of 6:1 for 47-styled electronics, 10:1 for 49-styled electronics, and 7:1 / with feedback winding for 67-styled electronics.)


To order as part of the Group Buy, email to

tnc-transformers@compasspointstudios.com

Include name, shipping address, and payment information. Paypal capability is being worked out now, hopefully coming soon. For immediate orders, you can use a credit card.

We will try to answer questions, but be advised that our emails are going crazy, and there is so much to do on this "little" Group Buy that we have to focus first on shipments!

Please keep all commercial transactions off of the Forum.

All of this should make for a lot of fun and experimentation! We will try to put together a couple of youtube videos that show how to modify, and especially, how NOT to modify (ie, kill yourself).

Enjoy!
 
I just got notice my 4 pres and 2 mics are on there way!
Shipping weight? A little over 80 lbs! them are some heavy rack pieces!
As I said before the price was just under 80 bucks.
 
Got my invoice last night and now mod news. I'm in heaven! So now the question I have is this. How will the transformer and electronics upgade work with a better grade capsule like one of the Puleso models? I ask because it appears that these upgrades are for the stock capsule. Any thoughts on this?
 
Damn!!! If I'd have known all those mod packages were gonna come available, I'd have ordered more mics!!! :(

Chance, do you have an "in the neighborhood" price for the Lucas PC board upgrades?
 
I was sent 2 of the upgraded 1200's. I only had them for a week and had to send them to New York for evaluation. They were AWSOME!!! When I shipped them to NY, I felt like Charlton Heston when he said " you'll have to pry this gun (mic) from my cold dead hands" LOL

Which upgrade did those modded 1200's have?
 
Great....My shippping invoice was paid seconds ago and now another GB, you guys are like drug dealers of gear....... Damn you. What was your take on the 1200's. Did you prefer one over the other out of curiosity?
 
Great news about the mod kits. Chance, might you be able to give us an idea of the lag time between ordering a transformer and shipping? Are they being made as we speak or is there a batch ready to go?

Thanks.

BTW, the transformer I'm interested in is the ACM3.
