mmmmmmmmmmm..newcastles....

[JAH]

+T to you too.....seriously tho, IMHO, these caps rawk(61's) and if ya EVER run em fob, they RULE......so lifelike it kills me every time.....

I was listening to the 2001-05-04 panic ((FOB DFC) AKG 481>Oade 148>ad500e) on the way in to work today, and that's the way I want my tapes to sound, every time.

must... buy... 480's...

you must buy an m148 too...  

Yes the m148 does wonders...I always ran 61's and now loand them to a buddy who has the 63's when the placement is right.  Either way you'll be happy if you have the m148  but you won't get that for a while form the sounds of your orig post....As much as I love my 61's....63's may better serve you if you do a lot of indoors that have not so great room sound and not planning on much FOB.
My 61's will be at the ABB in Nissan this Friday. Orch section center.....


Trey..didn't tape the Lips or SY  too wiped after the long day of FOB....must drink Nukie Browns, must sit down...must bake.........ahhhhhhhh

I run 63's 90% of the times but I am always taping indoors at crappy sounding venues. The 61's kick ass outdoors but indoors can be a little boomy at times when run DIN. If you run them XY they will sound better but a little too narrow of a sounstage for my tastes. The premier set up with 480's is 481>248 & 483>148. I am fortunate enough to have both at my disposal, I was smart enough to sell my 248 to a friend He also has my 61's b/c I run the 4022's now for cards

When I ran the 480s, I always liked the 63's on the end unless I was outside.  I rarely tape indoors in a good sounding room, so the 63's pretty much stayed on the ends.  Before I got the 63s, I would run the 61's XY in bad sounding rooms, and I liked the results.  Lots of folks will disagree with running the cards XY, but for me and my playback system at that time, that is what pleased me the most.  If I was moving back to the AKG's and had to chose one cap, I'd go with the 63s, but only because of my general taping circumstances.

See, I didn't really dig the m148 too much with the 22's, but that might have been the show I ran them at as much as the combination.  I mean, it was better than the MP-2, but still not quite right.  I'm going to try the EAA and see if that makes my stuff sound right.  I haven't had the opportunity to run the 22>148 up front yet (and probably never will), but I bet it would smoke anyone's tapes out there .

I haven't run my 4022>148 yet either. I've been pleased with the V3 upfront, quite frankly I really appreciate the pack size with 4022>V3, perfect for FOB.

size matters....
