X-treme eSSB Audio FORUM

Started with the NADY RSM-4 Removed the Inner screens and re-tensioned the ribbon... sounded like this with my fat fingers, 12 String, and the Mic about 10" from the 12 fret, angled toward the Neck/Body Joint: http://riley-music.com/RSM4/RSM4Mod/RSM4Stock.mp3 Next I dug around and found out about Tr...

Update: I was able to play with my rack last night... Here is what my Old Rack sounded like with the Behringer VX-2000 Ultra Voice Pro: http://riley-music.com/BowsStuff/BellariRP503/1StockVX2000.mp3 This is the Rack with the STOCK Bellari RP503 Installed: http://riley-music.com/BowsStuff/BellariRP50...

Well, the W5EFR Station is about to get me some Bellari... Now, before you throw a party and say "ITs ABOUT TIME!" I need to clarify something... I am getting a Bellari RP 503.... Its blue, so I don't get to claim I have the Voodoo Bellari Bling , but it is high plate voltage tubes baby... These bab...

Well, I ended up removing my old Alesis Nano Compressor, and stepped up my game a bit... See, my problem was that the Nano Compressor with unbalanced, 1/4" inputs and outputs... so I was doing the evil Balanced to unbalanced think in my rack.... Well, about a week ago, I was messing around with my r...

Well, I finally ordered and installed a 303/U. Let me just tell everyone it is the cats meow!!! On the average, my noise floor dropped by 2db; I caught myself troubleshooting my RF gain because the typicall hiss didn't sound loud enough. Those pesky little static crashes, well, I do not think there...

Thanks for looking Mike. No, I wasn't on last night, I was busy doing school/home stuff. tonight is a radio night though... I'll be on somewhere... Here is a better schematic. http://service.alan-germany.de/Amateurfunk/AE485S/Schaltung-circuit.pdf I swapped the C173 out to a .22uf to try and let mor...

BTW, there are guys who have modded the TS-130, 820S, 830S, 850S, 930S, 940S, 950S(D)[X], FT-1000D, 100D, 840 and [the ferocious] 1000MP/MKV to produce superb ESSB audio [and RX]. The reason I mention this is to remind you that "where there a WILL there is a WAY" . Bingo! Man, you don't have to thr...

Looks like I can doctor up my audio with what I have , but need to be on the look out for a rig with wider bandwidth capabilities if I ever plan on doing VooDoo. I'm ok with that. Will keep my eyes open for something to pass by that will be a little wider than what I have. Until then, I'll keep mum...

I was in there last night in amazement talking to Greg, Cy, Richard and Bill [I think that's his name]. A bunch of stations from Missouri too. I finally left when Greg shutdown at 2AM EST. I'm on 10M now, but little to no activity. I am hearing beacons from Missouri again so there is propagation......

Rockin'

Great take.

I talked with Gregg last night on the ride home. I used an HA-270 (tube Amp!) and a Dynamic Mic Replacement, still communications style mic, but not an Electret like the stock unit... He said that the audio sounded "Better", as in not and compressed and "crunchy"/distorted as it was with the old amp...
