I just read this funny post on GS :

''The Upgraded TAB 57 captures more warmth and detail, where that extra detail is rolled off on a stock 57 to cut production costs.''

I think Shure either decided that the sm57 would sound like this or with the construction, it happened to sound like this. Now this price/detail Relationship theory is very funny ;)

i just got one of the tab funkenwerk v78 mic preamps its one of the coolest things ive ever heard does anyone else have one

I have been reading about telefunken tubes in some of the post lately. Where are you guys getting these from?

Hi

I've just found a Telefunken TAB T-30 channel strip + compressor strip (lifted out of a console) but can't find any info out about it. I bought it on ebay because it looked cheap ($200) and I'm a sucker for impulse buys. I can buy a duplicate for the same price If i agree to do so now (i.e. before the first one arrives ) but I'd like to know a bit more about it. Can anyone help ?
