    Hi lads,

    Im interested in building my own rack mount gear as a project in the next few months and i've stumbled across JLM Audio and Seventh Circle Audio. I especally like the JLM BA2 thats based on Neve.

    Does anyone know any other good pro audio sites for good gear at resonable price?

    I've heard only good stuff about Seventh Cirlce.
    Try Gyraf Audio too.

    On my search for something at a much more affordable level for electret capsules I found this outfit. Not budget by any means but one to include in your own search.

    Slightly OT, electret capsules are available in Peats for €0.44 each, you need to solder a capacitor and a 9v battery onto them and off you go.

    dunno how much use this is but here's one...
    not much use without the pcb layout I'd have thought.
    note the 2520 amp.

    Hell yeah! Bit of old iron resonating away in there. That front end one is a Jensen, easier diy build no? Not sure about the output trafo.

    No power supply there though!
