Under the hood, Pt.2 - Studio Projects C1 vs Nady SCM10

Both are multipatten (omni, cardioid, & figure 8) with tiny switches for pattern selection, roll off, and a -10 dB pad.

The Nady is similar in construction to the Marshall V67G except with a shorter, heavier body, and a U87 type grille. The SP C3 is built exactly the same as the C1. Each had 5 transistors.

U87 shock mounts - any decent "generics"?

Totally willing to admit to being a cheap S.O.B. I'm purchasing an 87 next week and the mic does not come with any mount. The Neumann EA87 elastic mount seems really nice, but its also $75 more than an RNC stereo compressor! If there is no decent alternative, I'll shut up and write Neumann a check.

Kingston StorCase removable thingies...

For use with Pro Tools Mix+ mac, 10k rpm drives, ATTO dual scsi... (same ones used by Glyph)

Any new developments with this hardware? Other manufacturers competing (making compatible chassis')?

I plan to put a couple new ones together soon, and need to brush up on the process. Anyone care to do a walkthrough?

New hard drive. new problems.

I recently got a nice new IBM 40-gig hardrive for my Dell 550 and am loving having all this space, beautiful storage space. Problem is since intalling it, my system has developed some tics. Most notiably, my CD burner can't make a clean burn any more. While this may be coincidence, the timing leads me to believe it isn't.
