Hello everybody!
Im trying to decide what will be my next project. I have almost finished two channels of api312 using baumans pcbs+melcor opamps. I just have to rack them first, then im off to a new project. My first attempt at DIY btw, very fun experince.
So, please help me decide which project will be next!
I've decided that i need more good preamps, but i cant decide which (Im also building some greenpres, so no need suggesting those...Dammit, I got the diy fever bad :wink: )
I narrowed it down to two contestants at the moment.
Either i build an 1272 clone using Fabio Baumans Pcb. He has some spare ones that I can buy, but I think I have to decide pretty soon if I want them.
Or, I build an JLM99v kit.
I cant afford both, and if i decide to go with the jlm kit i think i will have to skip the output transformer until i can afford one. I dont have any balanced ins atm, so no loss there.
How will that affect the sound of the unit?
I think ill go with the OEP input transformer if i go for the JLM to save some money.
(Speaking of money btw. Would there be any point moneywise in ordering just the pcbs and opamps from Joe, and then getting the rest of the parts locally. Or will it be about as equally expensive?)
What would you think would mostly complement my setup of preamps?JLM or Neve? I record mostly indierock btw.
