hahaha doesn't everyone?

by the way, i forget where i saw it, but someone did a shootout with some of the modified soundcraft ghost boards vs some of the later neve stuff and it was pretty close. 

also have you seen that insanely expensive mastering box that went up on ebay like 20 times for 40+k that has all original api, neve, etc. parts in it?

[Brian]

yes i have!  they had it displayed at the AES. it is ready for production and selling.  i imagine the one that went on ebay was one of the original prototypes made 3 years ago. the mastering device was 3 years in the making.

for the whole "shebang" with all the strips.........$19,000

i have a picture of that too.   Mr. Neve is a great guy.....most intellegent audio personality i have ever had the pleasure of talking to and learning from.  his thoughts on extended bandwidth are amazing!

[Brian]

oh and i'd like that consecutive serial number pair of neumann m49c's to go with my neve board

did you go over to the stephen paul audio booth? the gordon or lipisnki?

lots of great gear was debuted at this years show.

i talked to grant carpenter of Gordon Instruments for about 30minutes.  He's a great guy...very knowledgable, and his new model 5 preamp is one of the best 2 channel preamps EVER made.  didn't make it over to SPA i don't think. it was a long-ass weekend.  everytime i stepped into the exhibits area it was a different experience.
