Judge for yourselves - here are two 'identical' clips (end of one track,

MIC with only a peewee little lapel mic (all I got) with digital/SS
everything except the power amp on the EX3 clip, which is 300B SET
valve. No editing whatsoever, other than a Fade In and Out at the ends
to lessen the shock!


Without even listening, Keith, do yourself a favour and get a half decent
mic for this sort of test.


If its of any use Keith, I can lend you a Behringer ECM8000 and home made
pre if you wanted to play further. I don't need it until I get a couple of
inductors wound.


Thanks Nick, if I lived round the corner I'd be delighted to take you up on
the kind offer, but I guess I gotta get summat sorted out - not for
recording speakers as such (although that is good fun) but there's the piano
recordings to be done some time in the near(ish) future!
