[nak700s]

Help.  Does anybody know who/where I could get my pair of Nakamichi CM-700's modified (scaled down)?

Does anybody out there know a guy by the name of Jamie Porras? I'm not even sure of the spelling, but he used to do this back in the 80's.

Jamie Porris. Have a couple of his Dead recordings.

Did you dowload any of Jamie's recordings from the internet?  Maybe there is an email or other contact information with a posting??  Any lead may help.

not sure if this will help any (for contact info), but his name shows up on this site when you search on his last name   http://bt.etree.org/?searches=Poris&cat=8

Thank you for the bt.etree suggestion.  There was an email, as I hoped there would be, attached to the notes.  With a little prayer and a lotta luck, maybe I'll get a response.  I'm also currently downloading 1 of the shows!

I'd save yourself a lot of hassle trying to track down some guy who may or may not be interested/able to do the mod, and follow the suggestion from AudBall. Chris is a well known member here and is in the business of modifying audio gear.

p.s. his name is actually Chris Johnson

chris re did my 700's after the leggeddy mod. he used belden 1804a cable per my request and your choice of power modules. if you are after the original mod that used the battery power supply(custom luminous audio), good luck. i'd suggest you just go with the newer mod, that way you can use them with just about any pre/phantom supply. however if you are modding for stealth reasons only, i can see why you are looking for the original mod.

I am modifying for stealth reasons.  Either way, I did take the suggestion of trying to contact Chris from Busman but he never got back to me.  How rude!  I figured that he didn't do this type of work and wasn't interested.  Now you're telling me that he does so I don't know what to think.

I did get through to someone who can get my message to Jaimie, the original modifier, and hopefully that will work out.  Thanks again for the bt.etree link that provided an email address.  Either way, I would still like to hear from Chris in case Jamie no longer does this kind of work.  I do want to keep the rig as tidy as possible though and not add more eqipment to the set up if I don't have to.  In my uneducated opinion, all I really need is a glorified extention cord to run from the capsule/attenuation pad to the mic body.  Anyway, thanks for all the help and suggestions and if anyone wants to direct Chris to this thread, cool.

I've personally had better luck with email, don't know if it was time of day or what.

Uh Duuuh!! Maybe the Holidaze have some thing to do w/ him not contacting you

I've seen this power two AKG CKx caps, actually owned one for a short time but never got around to using it. I'm sure Busman or maybe Chris Church could rig this up with the 700 barrels.
