I was wandering... if it's possible to make a "console" from those dbx Channel Strips? I could have a whole bunch of those together... let's say, 16 of those... around $8000... that would be 16 channels with EQ and compressor, 96k digital outs... doesn't sound THAT bad to me... don't get me wrong... I don't even have all that money... that's just a thought... is this a ridiculous thought?

I'd like to hear thoughts on another $2k decision.

I've just found a Telefunken TAB T-30 channel strip + compressor strip (lifted out of a console) but can't find any info out about it. I bought it on ebay because it looked cheap ($200) and I'm a sucker for impulse buys. I can buy a duplicate for the same price If i agree to do so now (i.e. before the first one arrives ) but I'd like to know a bit more about it. Can anyone help ?
