Hi Folks,

Hi all,
I am just thinking of getting something done with my power. I am currently using APC battery buckup (500 VA) and power conditioner to connect my main studio components (Avalon 737 preamp, Mackie hr824 monitors, PC, synths). My question is: will getting balanced power or voltage regulator units improve the quality of the sound?

What poweramp and loudspeaker cable amd Loudspeakers are you using? (Bob O ...Give it up ole' Man!)

I want to see what everyone has for reference sakes.

I am using a Theta Digital Intrepid amp and Kimber 8TC cables and Yamaha NS1000M Master control monitors.

Well, the magazine CPU has launched their website with a forum! :eek:
Yes, the geek of all geeks meet there and are discussing all the new stuff and OT stuff as well

I just purchased a pair of Paradigm Mini Monitors on eBay to be used as my main nearfields for mixing and tracking. I have been looking for some new nearfields and after comparing these to my "really" cheap JBL's they were the way to go. Now I will be able to hear the bass content of my mixes, not just hope that it's there.

for my ANUS I selected the Antec Plus860 as my case. I have a problem and I'm tired of waiting for Antec to respond to my email. I thought i would try and see if I could get a little help here.

I was in a shop today testing preamps and the salesman freaked when I turned on phantom power(on mistake). We were using a tube mic, the RODE NTK and he said that the phantom power would harm the tube in a tube mic's power supply. I have never heard this, is this true?

I've been trying to find a cheap way to lower the volume of my 100 watt marshall amps(with 4x12 cabs) when cranked up to 10(JCM800s seem to be WAY louder than normal 100watt amps). there are a lot of level reduction boxes that go between the amp and the cab, but are known for lowering the sound quality too.

Hello guys, I'm one of those people tired of beign Digidesign's slave... I'm just curious about how many plugs are you guys using on your setups... I mean the: "I do 24 trks with 4 band EQ, compressors, 4 verbs... all the time" type of thing. If you can give any info on that, it'll be very helpful. Thanks :)

Vincent Burel wrote a simple proggie to test your PC capabilities in real audio processing situations. Test results look a bit abstract to me, but if we post them here we can compare how our DAWs score. I'm particularly interested in ANUS DAW scores (PIV 1.6 FSB versus o/c).
