In roughly '88 I was living in Madison WI and had a Marshall non-master 100 watt head that was modded to run on a pair of EL34s and a pair of 6L6s. The guy that did it was named Kevin Macy (I think I remember correctly...). He later moved to Seattle and I heard he became amp guru to a bunch of the s...

I haven't fired it up yet so it may have issues but they told me that it works properly. I'll know in a few days. It was bizarre... Just walking down the street towards my studio space and planned on walking in to see if I could find some cool junk gear (never happens to me) and there in the front w...

So I'm walking past a thrift store and there in the window is an Oram BEQ Series 8 console (24 input, 8 buss) at a time when I'm worrying about what I'm going to do for my next board. I snapped it up immediately. Can anyone give me info/opinions about them? Strengths? Weaknesses? Typical problems? T...

I've had an original one for over 15 years and agree with much of what has been said so far. However I think the most important characteristic of the pedal is that it doesn't shave off the low end like most pedals do. My bass player has had it on a long-term loan from me because his bass still sound...

Speed Dial. I'll use my cell phone even when I'm next to a perfectly good land line becaue the phone numbers are programed in the cell phone. I don't necessarily remember the phone number but by pushing one button (speed dial) the phone starts ringing. Otherwise I have to search for the number in th...

Although it's not weird, I have an original Harmonic Percolator. I got it about ten years ago and it's got a great distortion that doesn't distroy your low end. Now on to weird: I love the Maestro Rhythm N Sound. It was basically a cheap, analog drum sample playback. What ever you put into the input...

I use the Kyocera amp that I already owned. I thought I might need to replace it when I upgraded to these speakers but I like how it sounds. I don't find the N805s harsh at all, but they definitely have a lot of high end definition. I don't know what your budget is, but unless you have unlimited res...

I have a pair of the B&W Nautilus 805's. Incredible speakers. Extremely detailed, balanced, accurate, and non-fatiguing. They sell for around $2000 new, the Signature series is a slight improvement on the same model for several hundred more. I bought mine on audiogon for $1200 and had a great ex...
