I only buy preamps that start with the letter "A"

Jalabodu · 9th January 2007, 07:35 AM

When I finish my setup this month I'll end up with the following pre's

A Desigins - Pacifica
Aurora Audio - GTQ2
API - 3124+

Oh, and BTW my convertors are Apogee. They work great with my Apple.

I like A.

No wonder I had to sell my Manley.

audiomichael · 9th January 2007, 07:47 AM

Well!

My name is Mike
And I sure like
To score and mix
And ride a bike

I love my Massivo
It's far from passivo
If it was stolen it would be those banditos

My dual G5 is here to stay
'Cause I'm too scared ot the Leopard upgrade

It's getting late
And I would hate
To get kicked in the balls
and have them served on a plate

OK I think that's about it.

warhead · 9th January 2007, 08:22 AM

I only wipe things that begin with "A".

In New York they do a lot of "A" fu*king I think.

Fonzie would be proud of this thread though.

uncle duncan · 9th January 2007, 08:26 AM

I can relate to all the A stuff, because I'm one of the biggest A holes on this board. (Plus, I just got the new ADK Hamburg IIau mic. And the AEA R92. And I use them with my Alesis HD24. Then I dump tracks into my Apple G5. And my girlfriend plays hockey. Eh?)

You have good aptitude for alliteration. Good choices too, except for the Apple.

joeq · 10th January 2007, 01:20 AM

maybe you should buy "a" Neve, or "a" Pendulum or "a" Fearn next.

insomnio · 10th January 2007, 04:07 AM

I feel so out of the club here. I'm really trying here and can't find anything secuential...

Jim vanBergen · 10th January 2007, 04:55 AM

A's for Aurora, A Designs, and API
B is Buzz Audio, which won't buzz and won't lie.
C is for Chandler, full of color and tone,
D is Geoff Daking, solid as stone!
E is for Eventide, EAR, & Earthworks
F for Lil' Freq, one of Derr's little perks!
G's the GOLD mixes we have in our heads,
H is for HEDD, and Hill, Dave - 'enuf said?
I is the EGO from artists we hate,
J is Jack Daniels we down during bad takes.
K is Klein & Hummels I'll never afford. (pause)
L is Langevin, Latch Lake & Lavry,
M is Manley, M-Gefell and Mercury.
N is for Rupert! 1073 to Portico
O is OSA from Atlas Pro Audio.
P is for Pendulum, Purple and Prism
But Q is the letter that ruins my schism.

Duardo · 10th January 2007, 05:04 AM

For Q you have Quantegy, QSC and Quantec. I'll leave it up to you do come up with the rhymes...

On one hand with B you have Behringer and Bellari. On the other, Bowers and Wilkins and Buzz Audio.

I guess you have to pick your B's carefully.

The True Buck · 10th January 2007, 06:43 AM

Could only afford an SPL
Wanna send it straight to hell
Will get rid of my Channel One
As soon as that damn deal is done

Improv · 10th January 2007, 06:47 AM

You could cover a lot of ground with the new Little Labs unit.... the LMNO Pre, innit?

goldphinga · 10th January 2007, 11:32 AM

A is for Amek.
