Nicole, If you would like to see a list, I will email it to you.

After 40 years, it's time to move on.

My entire production sound package is for sale. This is a turnkey package with top equipment, including all of the adapters, interconnects and widgets that make it work. This could be an ideal situation for a Boom Operator or Utility Sound Technician who does not wish to go through the aggravation of putting their mixing kit together. There is a list for anyone interested. Please see additions to this post under the correct category: "Want to Buy - Want to Sell"

After working with the Rycote Lyre microphone suspension system for a while, has anyone changed their opinion of or the ways they work with the system? I was skeptical. It looked overly complicated, fragile and more difficult to maintain than rubber suspension mounts, including rubber bands. What I have found is that it is more quiet than any suspension I have used. In the end, that's all that really counts, right? I now use the INV 6 and INV 7 as well as the Windjammer kit for Schoeps mic systems.

Jeff, Congratulations!!! Is this a first? After all of you have caught your breath, share Carol's and your photos with the rest of us. Cheers, AR

Thanks for posting those shots from "The Postman Always Rings Twice." This is the first time I have seen them. Yes, it is time for Carol to have a show and/or publish her great photography to share with the rest of us. Yes, that was your old friend and business partner, Brian McCarty. Where is he now? Cheers, AR

Aside from the ISO track numbers, the NAGRA VI raises the quality bar for all current machines that I know of. The ergonomic interface is very much like the older analog Nagras that we older guys felt comfortable using for decades before the first DAT machines started to arrive on the pro scene. The software is intuitively logical and can be accessed on the fly, even while in REC mode. It seems to be built to the same tolerances of a fine Swiss watch. Who would expect less from Kudelski? It feels good to work with precision equipment again. The price , at $7500, is half of what I expected. The ONLY drawback is that this machine only has four analog inputs, although they are high quality inputs with adjustable and impeccable mic pres. In addition there are two AES pair inputs. If I were in the business of recording live classical music, this would be my machine of choice. It sounds like high quality analog and, yes, elegant.
