Topic: man, my tapes sound so much better ...

[John R]

Not that they are at all common, but about how much is a used V3?

usually around $1200,wonderful piece of equipment

yeah, i don't see them dropping in value too much soon, unlike the V2, which dropped like a stone

[creekfreak]

well, its understandable that the V2 dropped like a stone since the V3 came out, and if Grace releases a V4, the V3 will dive

congrats armen!  i'm fucking psyched about my new rig too!

smaller rig than ever, awesome clarity from the new mics compared to the oktavas, ability to run low-profile and possibly stealth if i need to, and did i mention how much the sound smokes my last rig?!?!

d00d, i'll get flac for this but, IMO, you CANNOT beat (fav mics>v3) nuf said

Well said...

I finally got the sound I was looking for with KM140>V3

Can't beat being happy with your own tapes!

[F.O.Bean]

no doubt nick, +T for the happy rig feeling

[Ed.]

well the v3 may be closer than i had planned.  I have a bunch of home stereo stuff that a friend gave me, and i figured out yesterday that its probably all worth around $1000.  so i'm going to try to sell that on ebay and then if i sell my ua-5 i should have enuf money for a v3.

[F.O.Bean]

+T ed, thats freakin awesome

i ahve been eyeing stuff i might unload, like my old school bike and some old stereo equipment, i may be able to get enuf for 63's that way

so ed, where ya gonna sell the stereo stuff and where the hell does one sell and old-school schwinn ATB in pretty good condition

[F.O.Bean]

You live near a city Bean?  try selling on craigslist if you can.

well, my closest big city is pittsburgh, but thats a HUGE PITA to do

whats craigslist

[F.O.Bean]

HUGE +T bro, thats hella suite

love your sig too

i was going to put it up on audiogon, but audiogon also has links to ebay if people are looking for stuff, however, ebay, doesn't have links to audiogon.  so i figured i'd sell the stuff on ebay.  the biggest pain is going to be shipping, but the buyer pays it, so its not that bad i guess.

+t backatcha

... now that i own this modsbm-1!

Nice! a moddmb-1 in SLO town. Can't wait to barrow it 

only if you tape decent shows with it! spargey has one too. that means two modsbm-1s in the same room.

Congrats on the new toy!!! I love mine and it is soooo much easier to use than the Inbox. And now we'll be running 3 in one room!

ya know I wa thinking the same thing...gald you love your Msbm...it is a world of change....stay away from the V3 or MMe cause there is another world beyond the smb 
 it's all good 
enjoy

What mod was done for the SBM?  Are you using the mic or line for your input?

Thanks - I'm looking to increase the Balls Factor on my d8, too!

[Brian]

it was an original line stage modsbm1 done by the oade bros.  i'm pretty sure it's the same as  the "warm mod" he does for it now, though don't quote me.  i'm pretty sure Armen runs his DPA 406x's>batt box>modsbm1>d8

[nickgregory]

doug also does a p-mod and a t-mod in addition to the w-mod he did on most of the sbm1s out there right now
