I would like to build Neve 1073, SSL & API sounding mic preamps and would like to know the best places to get kits or schematics & bills of materials and instructions etc...Please advise and please be gentle I'm new here! lol

I know that the more mass the better and I need to eliminate air gaps as well as possible, but I am drawing a blank for the design... Design ides that have been tried and true anybody?

Any suggestions for building my own rack from a hardware store like Lowe's or Home Depot?

Found this article on how to make your own pop filter.

I need a few new cables (XLR - XLR and XLR - TRS) and was thinking about making my own. I have been reading past posts and many people recommend makes of cable such as Mogami and Canare but I live in the UK and cannot find anywhere to buy them from. I am thinking about buying Klotz or Sommer cables with Neutrik connectors and have a few questions...

I'm wondering if I could build something to help with power conditioning, cleaning up hum/ dirty power for my project studio. Does anyone have a solid design or know of a kit that I could make that would work excellent?

Any suggestions would be great.

Does anybody have any experience with Seventh Circle Audio Mic Pre's?
I like the idea of building a good mic preamp from a kit, these look interesting.
With all the talk of the Neve mic preamp's their N72 kit looks promising.
Its $650 USD to start a module capable of having a total of eight pre's in it.

Thanks for your thoughts,
Bret

Hi guys, i have just finished building a baby animal preamp kit to use with my Delta 1010 soundcard. I was wondering the best way to connect to the soundcard and whether there are any settings in the control panel to allow me to optimise the quality of my recordings.

Would i imagine its a means of simply going from the baby animal preamp output to the RCA input of the Delta card?

Cutting out background noises isn't really my concern. I write/record heavy metal, and basically I need to yell without my room mates and/or neighbors calling the cops on me. So I would like to build a small sound isolation booth. I was thinking about 3' X 3' X 6', with hinges between the walls so it would be easy to break down, and thus portable.

I would like to make my own cables. What recommendations do you have for quality cable and connectors. I need to make balanced 1/4 to 1/4 and XLR, as well as instrument cables. I want quality but have a limited budget.
Thanks for your help.
