Hello, this is a second in a series of Ribbon Mic upgrades. Thought you all might be interested. Here I updated the truss to make the ribbon element floating (not tied to the truss and chassis ground) and swapped out the transformer. This required some 3D printed ribbon mounts and covers...

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...

I have a RME Fireface UFX as my interface. The UFX AD DA converters have received excellent reviews. Would like to know your opinions if I should spend the money to upgrade the converters. I don't want to be spending $2,000 plus on a new converter unless it would produce a noticable change in...

Hi Guys, I haven't been around much lately, fortunately, because I've actually been busy with projects. I am working pre-production with an artist right now that is about to record a full album here at my studio and I am trying to figure if it is worth it to upgrade my converters for it. The...

Well, it has officially started. Probably the last for a while as I'm retired from my "career". But this time I will finish what I started several years ago. I have a full-length record starting next week so the upgrade will be in steps culminating in a total change in the orientation of the...
