What looks better? I can't decide. Help me.

The white paint fill "pops out"... and is very clear and bright. But seems drab and lacks personality.

The yellow has "personality" and not boring like white. But I'm not sure if I like the yellow.

These are Testors model paint by the way.

SC1-mk2 Mic Preamp Kit

Local PSU regulation for a 2nd-level filtering of power supply.
DC Servo, Dual Buffered design

So I'm starting "production" of the TS-2 Mic Preamp units. Everything will be handbuilt here in "the FiveFish Studios Lab."

Initial run will be 8 units. Sell the 1st (8) and then use the money to fund the next batch of units.

These are (2) channel mic preamps, with DC servo, and internal buffering. Using THAT chips, Burr Brown chips. Output using balanced line driver from THAT. Includes (2) channel VU meter. Polarity switches on both channels, individual 48V phantom power switches, and an ON/OFF switch for the VU meters (to be discrete during taping :). XLR Ins and outputs. Powered by 12VDC from AC wall adapter or portable DVD batteries.

Intro Price: $499











Everything is in a pipeline... panels will need to be manufactured, milled. Cases bought, and everything put together and tested in the coming weeks. Hopefully, I'll have finished units ready before Thanksgiving.
