Although my latest purchase is not as exciting as some here, I thought it would be fun to mess around with. It will give me the ultimate tweakabilty in my hard to tame room. The fact that it was on sale helped too.

Who has it on sale? I've been thinking about adding a little EQ loving to the system.

I had a dbx noise reduction box but can't remember the model number. I always thought it was much better than Dolby. It cut out the hiss but not the high frequencies, whereas Dolby seemed to chop off the high end in addition to the hiss.

I went down with a friend and both of us were amazed at the stuff they sell there. Lots of sweet guitars especially. Personally I don't play a musical instrument but I love looking at the stuff.
We couldn't hang out there too long because my buddy said if we didn't leave he was going to end up buying something he didn't really need. LOL!!

Nice pickup, that ought to be fun! What makes your room so hard to tame, Paul? I have a very "Live" room and speakers that lean toward the bright side. Not to mention that my speakers hump about 9db at 50Hz. I believe that is the room as well. Try to find a 10 or 15 band eq that has a 50Hz slider. I had no luck. I thought about room treatment but I don't have a dedicated room right now. I figured an eq would give me lots more flexibility as far as the inconsistency of recordings goes as well.

What did you actually pay Rich. I'm curious as my Uncle just ordered one similar to yours and after my discount and a good deal form my salesman friend he paid 72K and the sticker was 87K here in Canada. Just wondering if they give out deals on Caddys down in your area. Here unless you know someone, there is not really any deal on any of them, it's pretty much sticker price.

Tell that to your girlfriend or wife. LOL! ROFLMAO I paid about 67K for it.......dealer preferred pricing and a loyalty discount. If you really shop around, betters deals are out there. My area is horrid for caddy prices, hence the reason I ordered out of state.
