The recoils are magic, didn't think they would be such an upgrade, had auralex mopads before and actually made things worse,but these........ :D. From ear to ear, better imaging and extended bass response, especially those 808 kicks from the miami resonate on a lot longer. The GIK cornertraps really help too, the botttom units are 1.2m high each the TAD speakers are 1.22 each. The picture skews the perspective a bit IRL they are not so much backward as it seems on the pic, only the bottom woofer flanks the desk just a bit
But the tweeter mid tone and top woofer are free in line of sight
Tomorrow the last diffusors come then I can go back to work finally after nearly a month.
Nothing is that bad as not being able to 100% trust your room/ears |

My diffusors arrived last week. Now waiting on the last 2 pieces: a studio connections 96 points bantam patchpanel + a whole bunch of Mogami TT chords and a TASCAM DA-3000 DSD recorder.
This week I also recieved my Kurzweil micropiano, a near 20 year old gem. for classic house piano's and now we're done! |

I'm amazed you haven't upgraded to the 310's already ;) |

Finally got one back.
I went for the Snow because a) I'm still in the middle of a legal battle and strapped for cash and b) I'd only ever use 3-4 parts of a desktop anyway!

I need a patch bay myself - did you go neutrik, Rean or Mosses and Mitchel? Did you go wired or flexipatch?
If I could give you some advice; don't go with mogami - they're really not that good. You're in Holland and should be able to find a Van Damme Cable supplier there, and if not, you can just buy direct from London. You'll find with patch bays (where things are plugged in and out a lot) they need to be pretty tough and well made and Mogami don't come close to VD cables (much better cable, hand made exactly to your spec and come in any colour which is useful for patch chords). IN fact you may to spec you're entire studio with Van Damme (there's a reason, Abbey Road, Air Studios, SARM etc etc only use Van Damme). |

gots to have gold plating, we aren't really going to go there are we ?
i mean he isn't running it across a football field and at this level a cable is a cable is a cable. I would say mogami is probably more money than one would need except that they come with a guarantee.
X oatch is the only way to go. Although i prefer just having a lot of ins and outs in an interface I still use 3 UCX for doing that. I tried a patch bay but i just liked the freedom the rme total mix thingy gives ya |

Damn straight I'm going there with the gold plating; it's not about signal transmission or gold as a conductor - it's about oxidation and durability. Plug something in and out a couple of thousand times over several years and you'll see what I mean. I've got both TRS and RCA cables from the early 2000's that I have no intention of replacing anytime soon yet I've had to replace or repair all the others that weren't high quality/didn't have gold plated connectors. I will add that because I live basically at sea level and less than 10 miles from the sea, I experience more oxidation/corrosion than probably most people, but still.
The cost difference between the Neutrik standard TRS and the Gold Plated one? $2.
And don't forget, when something starts to oxidise, the metal on the surface degrades and starts to break off. Now plug that in to your patch bay. Yep, how to a patch bay in just a few short years, and there's nothing worse than a patchbay with dodgy connections.
Also, with a studio like his, he'd want the best cables possible and when Van Damme are the same price as Mogami it's a no brainer. I have a reel of mogami mic cable and it's actually pretty crap stuff. They're still using string (yes cotton) liners to give the cable flexibility, the conductors are tiny and both the shielding and insulators are really cheap.
And no, cable isn't just cable. If we were talking speaker cable you might have an argument, but line/instrument/mic cable? You know better ;) |
