What to get? 5 RU left!

I've got 5 RU left in my racks. What do you think I should get / need?

Here's my current gear list (of stuff in racks):

Apogee ad16x
Apogee da16x
Eventide H8000
TAB Funkenwerk V72s
GML 8304
RMS Folcrum
Manley Massive Passive
Crane Song Trakker
Crane Song Trakker
Distressor
Distressor
SPL Transient Designer
DBX 160x
GML 8200

I'm considering-

Benchmark DAC1 for it's volume knob and 2 extra channels of DA so I can monitor while using the folcrum!
A 192khz capable word clock or wc distro (right now I have a lucid genx and it don't do 192Khz)

There isn't much color in the rack.

Not many "fun" pieces.

5 rack spaces?

The easiest recomendation would be to buy (2)Pultec Eq's an EQP1A and EQH-2.


But i have feeling this out of the question?

I would look into one color piece and maybe the DAC-1.

Also remember that you need an empty space above the Massive Passive EQ and Eventide H8000.

I would say you don't want the 160X to touch any other gear either.

That could be 3-4 rack spaces right there.

If you have 4-5 spaces open, it's time to get anothe 20 space or so rack. It'll fill fast enough.

Got the empty spaces taken care of - those two pieces are on the top of each slant rack.

My ADACs get hotter than the 160x!

You're not helping.

I've been looking for some nice instruments too . Considering a lightwave bass to start.

If money is no option, I vote for:

CraneSong HEDD
Chandler Limited TG 1
GreatRiver EQ 2NV
Great River MP 2NV

Those will fill up the 5 empty spaces nicely (the empty spaces will transfer to your wallet though)

What about a Fatso? I was considering a MP2NV or a new API 512.

Take a listen the the UA2192 if you're considering converters.

An IBIS and a Fatso make a sweet combination.

Don't buy an 8200 without demoing an IBIS.

If you're considering instruments or amps, check out www.studioelectronics.com
www.stephensonamps.com
www.alembic.com
