Bad Mac Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I am looking to take the leap to some 500 series gear. I need a mic pre to start with and a chassis. Recommendations on some reasonably priced good quality mike pre and chassis? Also, should I consider used 500series gear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno de Souza Lino Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 (edited) Module wise, Five Fish Audio has some really good quality modules, API VPR certified and reasonably priced. You can buy all of their modules as DIY kits too, if you want. Edited February 7, 2021 by Bruno de Souza Lino 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gswitz Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I consider used everything... 🙂 The trick is to make sure you check it out first. See if you can plug it in and hear it work before exchanging money. The most likely problem with them would be dirty pots which you can fix with some Deoxit. Used gear sounds better. 🙂 The biggest problem I've had with used gear is that when it doesn't sound like I think it should, I can't be sure if it's me or the gear (always me. 🙂 ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you buy a used lunchbox, how do you test it without any modules in? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
