I have also never regretted buying any of the DriveRack DSPs... I rarely use them as generic crossovers anymore, but instead as multifunction problem solving units, worth every penny to have so much power in so small a space, especially on tour!

- Neutrik Minirator. Possibly the one item that gets pulled out the most often!
- Ditto Shure Beta 58A. Just what the doctor ordered to fix the SM58 blues..
- Shure SM 57. Simply the best workhorse, all-purpose mic.
- Rat shack battery powered speaker / amp combo. Settles many an argument about whether the speaker or the amp died.
- Ditto the Medium and small vise grips.
- MetCal soldering station. Leaves just about everything else in the dust..
- Ditto the QSC PLX series amps.
- Biesmeyer T-Square ripfence for my saw. Took me from plodding to lightning speed forevermore.
- Ditto the Sony MDR 7506 Headphones.
- EWI Bugkatcher. Few testers will touch this one for the versatility, ruggedness, and price.
- Ditto Smaart - with a an IBM Thinkpad..
- Ditto for any product sold to me by Audiopile.

The most memorable (in a bad way) beer I ever purchased, and I've even sampled Gablinger back in the day, was called "Coburger" or "Coberger", and only cost $2.69 for a case. It was bought as cheap whatever beer to feed the indiscriminate masses and after several hours of hard partying there was plenty left... it was that bad. I'm not sure of the spelling after almost 40 years but I strongly suggest avoiding either should you encounter, even if free.

Atlas round base mic stands (nothing is more annoying to me then big sound companies with cheap flimsy mic stands)
Radial DIs (The JDI's sound better then the Countryman Type 85's)
Beta 87c
Beta 52
Whirlwind XLRs
Monster 1/4inch Cables (Don't give me crap. Lifetime Warranty!!!And it is nice to be able to swap them AT THE STORE when one goes bad with no charge,no hassle and no shipping. Plus they sound good.)
T.C. Electronic Effects Processors (Customer Service is very good)
Yamaha SPX 1000
Avalon U5 (Amazing on bass guitar and acoustic guitar)
ACP 88
Hubbell Electrical Plugs and Receptacles
Items I Regret:

Good boom stands (3 years of metal abuse and still working perfectly!)
D6, i5, and pretty much any Audix mic I have (the fusion series is 100% terrible, I returned every one I bought in 3 shows or less)
Powerlight 4.0s
LABSubs. Yes.
Sterling Audio mics. I know they're cheap, but I am truly impressed.
My ADATs - I use them as A/D converters for live recording, got them for almost nothing and they always, always work. If only they were less than 3RU each!
good earplugs
Additionally, almost every piece where I decided I'd buy the "better" option. 99% of the time it paid for itself quickly.

HZ SB600s.... Silly little 4/8 ohm subs that work amazingly well.
Mackie Onyx 1640.... This one surprised me with nice EQ on a small Mackie (
).Logic Ethos CA rig/wedges.... Neat, good value, slim and sound great.
MC2 amps.... Ooo, Nice.
KMS 105s.... Ditto. Great live (though not always, by any means) and recording.
Heil PR35s.... Ballsy, sound good, great rejection.
CAD 179s.... Overheads, flute, sax, percussion. Live and recording. And nice to use.
Ted Fletcher TF27s.... SDC. Small, red; stupidly good overheads, acoustic guitar and on tabla are stunning. And they were cheap, too.
GT33s, the older ones.... Stupidly good on live double basses.
My cat. Though strictly speaking I didn't buy her.
I'd love the Crest desk I mixed on a while back. Stupidly forget its name. God, it had lovely EQ.

I find it very interesting to see the number of people on here who mention Mackie products as something they never regretted. That is very interesting since Mackie is supposedly not very rider friendly. |
The flip side of that, of course, is that I'm sure some of the gear that people regret purchasing is items bought to fulfill riders, which then falls out of favour before it makes any serious ROI.

I wont give you crap for the monster cable thing. But I think I do have an issue,(or at least politely call BS) with a claim that a 1/4" patch cord from any manufacturer has a good or bad "sound" to it.
Post by: Marsellus Fariss on February 17, 2010, 07:07:57 PM
Now I'm not gonna stress about cable quality for what I do mostly (though I think I might spend a couple hundred and build some Mogami cabling for my studio at home) but cables can effect tone. And I've not listened to balanced patch between components at all so I can't debate that application. I suspect I wouldn't hear a difference of any significance.
Sorry for changing the topic.
Post by: Tim McCulloch on February 17, 2010, 07:16:18 PM
The guitar-amp evaluation is specious because of the nature of the devices contributing their own variables to the test. In this case, the cable becomes part of the guitar rig and influences the response by it's capacitance.
Have fun, good luck.

Guitar cables are a special case where the high source impedance of the guitar pickups interact with the cable capacitance. If a given cable sounds better or worse to you it is because of your subjective opinion of the different frequency response. Not better or worse, per se, just different, but most purpose designed guitar cables aim for modest/low capacitance.
Another example where transducers interact with cable capacitance was record player phono cartridges. Anybody old enough to remember records?
So yes "in general" wire does not have a sound character, but depending on the application there can be secondary effects due to resistance, capacitance, or inductance.

He has a very impressive repertoire and I know he knows what he's talking about but I can't bring myself to believe that monster cables sound better. I wonder if he thinks $140 monster hdmi cables look and sound better too? |
I'm with you I've not experienced his "revelation." I think maybe he "bought the car".

"What really got me excited...is the fact that my imagination can be part of the music." I think he nailed it on the head, the difference in sound is in his imagination.

Are you referring to this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nds6kju1fw8 I still don't buy it.

On a side note...the 1/4" plug that Monster used is slightly oversized compared to Switchcraft/Neutrik. After you switch back from the Monster stuff...you get to spend some quality time replacing all the 1/4" jacks that now have loose contacts.
Fun times!
Cheers,
John

So you used one once, or do you wash it out each time?

The US "GI packs" at the end of WWII had rewashable condoms - 10 uses maximum - but I believe this rule was broken more than once
They were made out of the type of rubber the bulb at the back of turkey basters are made of
