although ive heard a lot of good things about the a/d in the HHB, i still love the 500, although mines dead, it rocked for a couple months

I ran the ad500e and ad1000 for awhile and now I can't find an a/d that sounds anywhere near as nice.

great, great sounding boxes.

I've been tempted to buy Lee's lately...

So have I. Even if it died a year later it would be worth it.

Sorry Clark. For the record I sold him that unit. At least it was cheap. T+

Post by: Tim on March 11, 2004, 05:25:56 PM: hell if I only used it occasionaly and got to make a handful of tapes with it it would be worth it.

I've got a vegas vacation coming though and don't really need to spend the cash.

but it is tempting!

Post by: Kindguy on March 11, 2004, 05:39:35 PM: Well, I have no AD or pre now so it's real tempting. Plus Lee owes me some $$$ because my dumb ass ripped up the wrong check. :P

for the money i paid for it, i totally knew the risks, at least i got to run it in the section at a phish show one time. if i had the money, i might send it up to prodigital, but thas not happening. but after it died i have gotten my hands on some other nice gear that i loved, mod sbm1, mme. im not complaining

I didn't even think about that. $75 + the money I owe you and it's yours :)

Post by: BobW on March 12, 2004, 09:53:21 PM: hhb is very hard to beat.
wish they made a standalone, like the spitmapper-1.

Then there could be Grace/Apogee/hhb debates ;D
