Thanks to all the folks that chimed in with help and suggestions over the last few days. I have my new set up on the way and for 1/2 what I was expecting to pay:
New in the Box JB3
As new JB3 docking station
New UA-5 digi mod
Pair of C-4s
All in it was slightly under 1K inlcluding the shipping!
Now I am set for the time being. I think I will also use the UA-5 to remaster some old cassettes from shows I recorded over 20 years years ago... I have few boxes of masters from way back... Should keep me busy on these winter nights!
You guys were a big help and I really appreciate you talking me out of the PMD-670. Just the 670 and the C4s woiuld have cost more and given less sound.
If there are any accoustic guitarists in the readership here that like Martin guitars you should check out the forum at UMGF.com it is also full of helpful, knowledable folks. I spend a lot of time over there and will certainly refer people to this board from the recording section there.
Thanks again.
