I'm not sure what the SCAF-1 is, but I have an original SuperScaf filter here that I haven't used since the advent of DSP. I thought it was excellent. It allows you to set both the high and low frequ
I bought a used dual cartridge Heil mike several months ago and it has worked FB. However, lately I received several bad audio reports that seem to be associated with that mike. I attempted to take t
