Red phone

Anybody have any idea where the traditional old "red phone" can be purchased?

If you're not familiar with it - I mean the old style phone with no buttons or numbers, just a phone and a red light. It's connected to another one and when you pick one up, the light lights up on the other.

They're often connected with either regular phone cord or sometimes a single XLR cable.

Queston About Rolls RA62AH Headphone Amp and Tascam US-1641

I am trying to use our Tascam US-1641 with all channels in our church for multi-track recording. I have a Rolls RA62Ah headphone preamp mixer that I am thinking of trying to use to where I can adjust the gain coming into the 1/4" inputs on the back of the US-1641. Can I use this as long as I use stereo cables? And would this be possible to use without damage to the unit?

Recording Jazz Trumpet

What kind of Equalizers do you use (or recommend) during mixing? I am currently just using the EQ plugin for Sonar and was looking to see if I could upgrade. Is there any rackmount gear that I could use or any EQ specific recording plugin that is used a lot?

Thanks.

Mono Monitor

Hello...
I do, mostly, mono audio editing and I read an interesting proposal on another website...
How about just using 1 monitor?
I thought about it for a second and couldn't think of a logical reason why I would need 2 monitors. Plus, I could get a higher quality monitor for the same price as I would have purchased 2 monitors (I'm looking at $300-$500).
