Back To German Cartridge Land...

Okay, I’m a sucker. I’ll admit it. I needed one more mic pre, and I wanted a discrete TAB or Siemens cart more than just about anything. So I’ve been nosing around the nether (meaning: non-eBay) regions of the Interwebs lately, looking for the right cartridge for the right price. Lo, and furthermore hark, I found what I was looking for. A fellow I’m buying a Neumann V475-2C module from (for my stupid awesome summing buss project, doncha know…) informed me that he had a TAB V376 cart he wouldn’t mind parting with.

So, one Paypal transaction later, and the very V376 pictured above is on its way to me. Just gotta scare up a 1U rack and a rotary hardware editor, and buy a power supply, DI, and go-between from JLM, and I’m disco. I know I previously got rid of all my German carts, but as it turns out, I just can’t get enough of that crazy TFK tone.
