I have an old RCA D77 that I use for voice overs, female vocalists (especially of the jazz kind), male vocalists when I'm looking for a classic vibe, brass and also clean guitar cabinets (although I started getting paranoid about a blast of air from the amp blowing out the ribbon and I quit that).

Hallo to you all !

Did enybody ever try the Rca ba-71 discrete transistor mic preamp ?

How is it ?

What does it sound like ?

Cheers !

... i like what i've heard about the m audio dmp3 mic preamp, and am wondering if i would have a problem running out of the balanced outs on the pre to the unbalanced ins on my audiophile 24/96 card using a quality 1/4 inch to rca cable?
thanks-jv

hi,
can 2 digital S/PDIF pieces be connected by your average analog rca cable?

also 1 more, is there a quality loss or reason why you should not use an XLR to unbalanced 1/4" cable to connect gear to a patchbay. ie: balanced in/out of DA-30 to an unbalanced patchbay?

Hello,

Any folks with advise where to get this antique 4 in 1 wired up and rolling? I have orig schematics and such, but would like to have a pro fix it up - it's spotless!

Also, if any know of mods, etc.fire away!

Thanks in advance,

I have 2 44BXs which were both rebuilt and blessed by Charlie Gand before he passed away. They've both functioned well for years. In my new studio I seem to be in a substantial 60Hz EMF field (I think from the high voltage running down the street outside). Both the RCAs hum (which I can null out somewhat with position) but one is much louder than the other.

I just picked this pre up and it seems everything I run through it is distorted.There are no input or output adjustments on it, so I guess I'm stuck with one level, but do I need a pad after the mic, before the pre?
If so, which one is transparent enough(model numbers please).
Also, has anyone else used this pre before?
Any applications where it excels?

Pulled this out of an old Etude mag.

Things have changed.
