I got this reel-to-reel today from a relative who died. The unit was made between 1964 and 1967, as best I can tell, only it won't power up. Sony quoted me a ship-in price of $154 just to look at it with no guarantee they could get it running again.

does anyone use this software
if so i have a few questions.

I just got offered a good deal on a Sony ECM-999, (MS mic) and was wondering what, if any, opinions are out there on this mic.

Always on the lookout for a good stereo mic system, I like to keep my eyes open for deals, new products, etc. ... (Someday I'll buy another AKG 422 or 424!)

Which one is better for playback CD in term of produce accurate,musical and lively sound?

HI,

I am almost the proud (?) owner of a Sony PCM-501es Digital Audio Processor. I am in need of any info I can get, including specs, what were the popular modifications to this unit and can I make the mods myself? It looks as if I am going to be stuck with this thing, so I want to make the most of it. LOL.

I'm looking at Sony MDR7506 and MDRV600 headphones to use when I'm out with my portable rig. And obviously use monitors for the final mixdown! ha

i'm wondering if anybody has run into a similar problem.

are these worth buying
i run nuendo Wavesand some sample libraries . but some guy at guitar centre told me to buy the more expensive(wayyy more) drives with the oxford chip or Pro Tools and maybe some other stuff won't run on it.

is this a marketing ploy? or should i really consider just how important this . .oxford chip really is.

Ok

I'm trying to decide which to go with for use with a minidisc recorder - the Sony electret condensor mic or ECM-MS907. The first is much smaller but not digital, which is appealing, but I'm wondering if it would record well. Thanks.
