m Whatever it sounds like, it looks bad-ass. Big Bakelite knobs are hot.... The switchable output transformer idea is cool. $4000 is an assload of money to drop, but thinking of it as $500 per channel, it seems like a bargain - if it sounds as good as I imagine.... They make a single channel card ($...

I scored a pair of KM85's a few years ago for $1000, so at $500 each - do they count?

If not, then my RCA 74B's, which I got for a couple hundred each.

A good band - one you know and like (or at least can deal with) and who wouldn't freak out the guests, but who doesn't usually do weddings probably would be cheaper than an obnoxius DJ. I like all kinds of stuff, one of them being hardcore honkytonk country. I figured that everybody could deal with ...

Hmmm, how about spending a weekend in December 2004 during my first-semester law school final exams seeing bands at the Hardback Cafe in Chapel Hill, getting drunk, riding my bike to Carrboro to hang out with a band, getting sooooooooooooooooooper high really fast, then spending an hour at the top o...

There's a whole thread on here somewhere of what to say when your friend's band sucks, without actually saying "you sucked". But I'm damned if I'm trawling through the 977 threads that come up when you put the word 'suck' into the search function. If you can find it though, it's a goodie. I think I...

Sorry I know I'm like 8 months late on this thread.... In Athens last year there was a show where a bunch of one-off bands were put together by drawing names from a hat , and they had to play a 20-minute set the following week (or something along those lines). Anyway, by far the best band name of th...

I think the worst is playing with a band and thinking that they suck on a musical level, but then afterwards discovering that they're absolutely lovely. I find that much worse than discovering a band you like are a bunch of dicks... Oh, man, that is so true. On tour, so many local opening bands are...

This is off topic, but I find "United We Stand" to be the most offensive wartime slogan; I would be less offended by, for example, a t-shirt that says "Homeland security starts at home" with a picture of a gun pointed at a random arabian guy. i hate it because it simply isn't true, we don't stand u...

Oh yeah When i used to live in Cleveland, there was this dry cleaning place. It had huge lit up red letters, and as you would be driving down this one particular street, the dry cleaning place would be at the end of it, facing you as you drove. Because of the bright letters, and the style of the fo...

Roughly speaking, what are the dimensions of the Studio B live room? A partner and I are looking at a massive empty building out in the country for a studio. We've got room to build whatever the hell we want inside that building. I'm thinking of a roughly 32' x 47' live room with 20' ceilings built ...
