hey, I'm not a cum dumpster

[Ed.]

haha, no hard feelings i hope, i was just being dumb....don't mind me.  I got 5 hours of sleep yesterday, and have been working since 11.45pm and have to work till noon tomorrow err, today.

working 40hrs a week in 4 days is rough (although all i really do at work is surf the net, which has pretty much become surfing ts.com and before that www.toothpastefordinner.com) but it all pays off when you get three day weekends every week.  Three days of drunkeness, mmmm.

yeah, I haven't used it in 10 months, but it's still the only mic I own.  I hope to change that soon.

A note from a new UA5 owner (opened the box about 4 hours ago)...

I just bought a JB3 (or NJ3 depending) and needed an Edirol.  I debated long and hard about buying one for about $250 off of Ebay or some other Audio store, because I thought the Digi-Mod would be easy to do myself, and I still think it would be.

However, I've decided that it is worth the extra $100 (the DigiMod Oade UA5 was $365 delivered) because OADE MODed UA5s KEEP THEIR WARRANTY AND YOU CAN GET PREAMP MODS (Warm or Presence) FROM OADE LATER.  

You cannot get new mods on a non-Oade machine...  And if you do the mod yourself, you just killed your warranty...

Me?  It is worth the extra $100 for piece of mind...  And if the Digi-Mod is broke, Oade will fix it.  If I screw up the mod doing it myself, I have a $250 paperweight...

Good luck, buy Oade...

I had the exact same thought process as Terry.  I didn't want to drop the money on right now on a p- or w- mod, but I like the fact that I can send back at any time.  And I feel a whole lot more confident in the Oade Bros workmanship then my own.

i bought one off ebay for 239$ and did the mod myself and it works well. however, it was a bitch to do. the circuit board is VERY small and its like trying to sweat a dragon compared to soldering cables, which can be done with closed eyes in comparison, imho. if you can spend the extra 100$, get it from oade. my $.02

Utah Taper has one for sael in Yard Sale now...  It is his own Mod (not Oade), but is only $240 methinks...  And it has external battery pack included...
