I think maybe you are confused. SSL makes studio gear for recording, but there is no such thing as 4K audio recording. I'm not familiar with the 2+, but I suspect it's probably a HI-Rez 24/192 recording interface. I know a few years back they had a 4000 series in their product folio - perhaps...

I was referring to Gene, the last man on the moon, considering a crater jump.

My wife and I prefer subtitles. We've been watching a lot of "Walter Presents" shows and dubbing would be a disaster. Dubbing only works on Clint's spaghetti westerns.

I've seen it 3 or 4 times now. Two astronauts driving around on the moon in a reasonable facsimile of the lunar rover. The backing soundtrack is Smokey's "Cruisin'". They wheel around and head for a giant crater, gun it on a ramp of moon dust and jump the crater. I just love it and wonder -...

It seems that critical thinking WAS common sense 50 years ago. With the extinction of common sense, we now have to specify critical or analytical to describe thinking that is not some type of dogma.

Steve Simels. His record reviews shaped a lot of my listening. It seemed that whatever he liked, I liked - don't know why, but if Steve gave it a good review, it went on my list. I had to have a list because I couldn't afford much more than one LP a month back then. I also enjoyed the...

How right you are. And despite what all the "safety at any cost" crowd says, those old receivers were assembled with good old 63/37 lead solder. The high density SMT boards now have their RoH solder and all the Tin Whiskers you could ever want. I would count on his Sansui, minus any...

Do you mean for audio? I glanced through the data sheet and it seems to be an excellent candidate for data acquisition systems. It is indeed a precision amp - good for at least a14 bit DAQ system. Did you interpret it to be of particular interest for audio? I would be interested in your take...

Nice piece of work. Just remember to reconnect the battery and cycle it a couple of times a year. When you do start traveling, you'll still have a good battery. Cheers

It's been quite a while ago, I helped a friend set up his DAW with a 6i6. What are they are they up to now, Gen5? Anyway, my vague memory tells me the routing was all analog based on how you configured the software. If you "set" analog X input to analog Y output, it was directly routed- no...

Just a reminder - Most all commercial tapes carried Macrovision copy protection. It weenied the sync signal making VCR to VCR copies almost impossible. I say almost because some of the better VCRs had timebase correctors and would copy the tape. Check to see whatever digitizer you select can...

As far as audio goes, the DG812 tops out at 10MHz - which is way more than you need vs 25MHz for the DG1022. The drawback for most arb generators is they are not necessarily geared toward hifi audio use. Many have very good phase noise specs which is nice for RF use and they generally have...

One option I have used with fans is one of the wall warts with multi-voltages. They have a little slide switch for 12V, 9V, 7.5V and 6V. It's a regulated switcher and you can set your desired fan speed with the voltage selector. Cheers

I recently read an article where a "committee" decided to cease publication of some of Dr. Seuss' books. I'm glad somebody is steering the ship.
