what type of amplifier are you guys using?

im unsure whether 2 get a top of the line reciever cuz i get a discount from best buy with a built in amp 600 watts 100 per channel..

or would it be best 2 get a good amp.

right now im preferably leaning towards doing ampc4000+Rode NT 1-a mic to


| Mackie 24.4 | to an Amp+speakers

would this be the best set up in my home studio, need input plz thanx

i got a hafler amp in my home studio, if you are going the amp route u should check ebay they got a lot of vintage amp on there but crown amps are tight

Caver amps are dope too!

sansamp

I'm using a NAD amp

Why don't you try something different. I use Tannoy active reveal monitors. You can grow with these becuase before you know it you will have a full fledge studio. These are studio speakers with amps built in. Try E-bay. You will be happy with the result.

I would go for theAlesis M1 Active Mk2 active studio monitors. They're cheap (between $350 and $400 new price), and I heard nothing but good things about them (even from people working in professional recording studios).

its dope

i saw a wu tang interview where rza said sans amps were used to make sounds come out "dirty" or "gritty" he said it was a industry secret..
what is the sans amp exactly?
do you have a link i can look at it with??
i would appreciate it!
thanks.

is an instrument preamp (as opposed to a "speaker" amp which this thread is about).
tech 21 makes them: http://www.tech21nyc.com/index2.htm
I don´t know the exact model RZA uses but I would guess it´s the psa-1 since it´s the most studio model.
one

thnks but i dont think that one is the one in the video...
go to www.wutangworld.com and watch the mtv cribs video for wu.
and it show his setup...i mean he points at the amp too and says it.
but RZA does talk wierd..lol
i dunno...maybe it is one of those..i dont think so though.

I'm using a Kenwood amp from an old rack setup. It's about 15 years old, and shakes walls! I would buy a better one, but I don't really need to.. as long as the beats bang, that's all that matterz. I would still be using the home speakers but luckily I nabbed a set of store display Alesis M2's that are also discontinued. Paid $220 for them, so I can't complain!
