Audio Equipment that just works
I have owned and sold a lot of audio stuff, be it old synths, new synths, stringed instruments, preamps, mics, software etc. Among all those piles of gear there are some machines that have never let me down and just work. Here is my personal hitlist of gear with little “wow” but lots of “do!”.
