Rod,
I did that for a friend. Spray it flat black.
He doesn't use it much so I'm not sure it
will stand the test of time but it's a fix.

Thanks so very much for the tracks. I enjoyed listening to them from a musical
perspective as well as a technical one. I am curious as to the signal path
from mic to Paris for these sessions if you recall. Also, how many interchangeable
capsules are there? I'll check the web to see what I can dig up.

Cool photo...I had not received it under my e-mail account, but noticed the
attachment when I came to respond.

Again, many thanks!

TyroneThe session cancelled, but thanks!

What issues do you suppose I might have had w/ a PC formatted drive?

stripped it down,replaced the power supply,no go.

Took it to the local PC shop who said I had a bad processor.
He said he put in a new processor and it fired back up.

So I've waited about 2 weeks or so to get a new processor;got
it today,installed it and......drum roll-lights and fans;no
change!DAMN!!!DOUBLE DAMN!!!!

Needless to say I will be visiting the local PC shop tommorrow
to "discuss"this matter with them.

Let me go on record saying Morgan at Eastcoast has been nothing
but helpful with this,staying in constant contact and updating
me.Thanks Morgan.

I just have to say for the Mac bashers I never has any problems
like this before I got my PC.Got an old 9600 thats still kicking
it after all these years.Sorry had to rant a little;I know these
probs can happen to anyone on any machine at anytime.
Was it Rick who had the looong Apple saga?

Tune in tommorrow......

PeteI've been watching your issues. Computer problems are incredibly frustrating.
Hang in there. You'll get it sorted...

Cheers,
Kim.

>Not to open a can of worms here but, my Paris comp is a PC (XP)
My wife works on a g4, and the comp I am typing on now is an ibook.
The PC is way faster, but the MAC OS is so much smoother. No wierd quirks
at all.
It may have quirks if I put 2 EDS cards and a UAD card in though I suppose.
