Topic: 480's > warm mod ua5?

[caymanreview]

anyone know of anyone running this combo? i will be sometime next week...

too bad i wont have it for MMW saturday...

thoughts on the combo?

[Lee]

I think damn near everyone in the state of AL is/was running that combo, and for good reason.

The two were made for each other!

[Kindguy]

I love the combo. Like Lee said they were made for each other.

Now If I can just get my configurations down I'll have it going on.
Listening to my tapes on a decent playback system now. I can tell I'm doing something wrong. When running DIN my left side is consistently lacking something compared to the right channel. When I set the balance to the right a little & crank it up it sounds so much better.

Any suggestions? Maybe I'll try the 90deg cutout pattern that I've seen some people use.

[phishn]

not sure about the 480's but the 391's paired with the warm mod ua-5 is awesome.

Listen to my 7/18/03 tapes and tell me which way I had my configuration pointed

so you're saying saying if i have a w-mod UA5 and want to upgrade mics i should go team AKG with the 480s ?

EDIT: I dunno Team ADK TL is looking nice though. what about km184s>w-mod?

[teamakg]

i run 480->UA5(wmod).  sounds incredible.  silkly smooth.  i'd be willing to put it up against the minime.

Funny you say that. I was just decompressing it...... Seriously.

'bout time you got around to it!

Seriously, you need a damn bombsight with those DIN hypers to make sure you get 'em pointed dead center.  Maybe I should've taken it easy in the lot.  Live and learn, I guess.

ran that with the 391s i had before the m300s i just got rid of

im ready to get these 480s and try em out...

[mterry]

too bad no one is into the USBPre(other than simp and myself)........i love the sound(too bad it's only powered by USB......kinda bunk)

[Electric Cowgirl]

I have a friend that runs 480->warm mod UA5. Sounds sick everytime.  He makes killer tapes with that combo.  

[wrangler_n_space]

I ran 184s with the wua5 for a little while and the 480s combo blew them out of the water. Drop me a line and i could shoot you some comparisons.

[junkbondking]

my adk's sound a lot better with the wmod ua-5 than they did with the mp-2 -> ad500e.  plus it is a lot less gear to lug around.

Less gear to lug is a good thing, no doubt.  Especially if it allows you to carry one less battery!

[Brian]

anybody know of some good shows on the archive sourced with 480s>w-mod UA5?

[wrangler_n_space]

My copy of Panic 7-18 in mobile was 483s>wUA5>jb3 is floating around somewhere.

I'll start a torrent of it up on monday when i get back in town.
Let me know if you want to hear some of the 184s with the wua5 also. Although i can almost assure you that you will like the akgs better.

[Brian]

word. how much does a new or old pair of 480s cost these days?

[caymanreview]

got my 483s used for 800,a dn there is another set in yard sale for 825 obo...

[Brian]

damn. a bit out of my reach. i'm down for going team akg, just got to start saving. i like most every 480  sourced show  i own.  grant it there was some better gear behind them(opposed to the w-mod UA5)
guess i 'll go search the archive ro see if there is a show i i like with that source.

Thanks,
Brian

WARNING!  Purely subjective opinion follows...

Based on what I like to hear, I'd rank the wmod UA-5 higher than most "high end" gear when used with the 480's.  I don't like the sound of the Grace pre's with them, and never have liked what the AD-20 and AD2K+ do to them with any pre.  In order of preference, my top 3 combos with the 480's are as follows:

480>PSP-2
480>m148
480>wmod UA-5
480>m248

You're not losing much, IMHO, by going with the warm ua-5 as opposed to a V3 or other upper tier gear.

[Brian]

well i already got the w-mod UA5 so i am stuck with that. now i just have to start saving. hopefully a used pair will pop up in a few months or so....

[Joe w.]

hopefully these will be my mast mice, then il start upgrading elsewhere

well, mice are sure to die sooner or later. you could allways upgrade to a nice guinea pig or something....but there are a little bright on the high end.  

[Sam Malone]

i run 480->UA5(wmod).  sounds incredible.  silkly smooth.  i'd be willing to put it up against the minime.

I would LOVE to hear a comparison done between the w-mod and minime and also a p-mod and a v3.

[Joe w.]

me too. I am extremely happy with my w-mod.

[F.O.Bean]

hmmmmm, maybe awmodua5 shouldcomeFIRST onmy list, then av3...hmmm, allthis wmod talk.........whocan send me someshizzy w/that combo in the ole snail mail?

[heath]

Keep in mind that a DMB stack tape isn't exactly representative of your more common taping situations.  It'll give you a good idea of low/mid/high balance, but soundstaging will be almost nil.

YMMV

agreed.  eric naylor has made some great sounding stack tapes but stack tapes really aren't the best tapes do a serious comparison.  it's cool to listen to a few of them when trying to make a decision but i wouldn't buy anything based soley on them.

nice, 480>v3>vx pocket>lappy would be GREAT

[wsp12]

480>M248 or 148>Ad500 i still think is one of the sickest combos out there for panic taping Mike
