One of our key moderators is not only is sticking around here but he signed in as a supporting member. Harvey, if I could hug you in real life you would feel my heart.

Thank you. :D

I believe that you once suggested using rubber "O" rings to replace worn elastic in microphoone shockmounts, as purchased at automotive supply stores. I've checked some stores and catalogs and can't find any long enough.

Any suggested sources or should I contact Neumann for their elasto-cord?

Hi Harvey and everyone.

As I was going through my equipment closet I came across the mic above. I didn't think much about it but became curious when I did a google search and found it was reviewed in an old audio mag (the body of the review was unavailable) and was part of the equipment in a studio. Another site had someone's opinion that it was similar to an AKG 431.

Posted this after reading your post in the nearfield post. Like most here I've done most of my mixing on nearfields, but I'm building a new room and I'm struggling with the whole soffit mount speaker thing at the moment.
Basically I'm wondering if you could ramble on a bit about mounting bigger speakers and perhaps recommend some brands I could look into.

Did I dream it or did I read in another forum where you said McQ was a couple weeks away from unleashing this mythic beast upon the world? If I was dreaming, please forgive me dragging this dead horse out for another round of kicking.

PS-I promise not to hound you for review daily. I'll leave that to others.

Us small-steppers miss our daily Harvey fix. Too bad we have to get it on R.A.P. What's up with that?

Harvey has been incredibly generous sharing his knowlege over the years. Is his run as an RO moderater over?

Thanks for the memories.

P.S.-the pond froze yesterday.

Didn't you install an MCI? How's it going? War stories? What kind of a difference is it over the Soundtracs? Changes in work style? Since this is the kind of move a lot of small steppers dream of, it'd be interesting to hear about.

Hello...
I was told that Harvey has a great list of products that are cheap and sound really well for their price. I am talking about stuff like mic preamp's, mics, compressors (outboard stuff), studio monitors etc...

Can you recommend some less expensive products?

Thansk a lot

If you're still interested in checking-out the 797 Audio CR998, just let me know when a good 2 weeks is good for you and where to send it... Also, when I get my SPA modded version from SPA, are you interested in checking that out too? If so, maybe I'll just have them send it to you... What would be another two weeks or so?

Anyhow, just let me know.

Please read this about Stephen Paul. Help us figure out a way to get this guy the credit he deserves before it's too late.

I'm not sure what to do but just maybe by me posting this again it will help get to the right people that can open doors.
