More Gear For DCHFG Member Home Demo

Have two more products to add to the DCHFG Member Home Demo Loaner gear list. Gingko Audio is kindly loaning its Gingko Audio VCS Toolkit for members to try for a few months (3 days per member). The vibration reducing technology is said to work in lots of different audio scenarios: turntables, speakers, amps, etc. Email John Gatski if you want to schedule a home demo session for the Gingko kit.

  The other product is for home recording buffs who record music. I have a single microphone available for try out: the Sterling ST170 ribbon microphone. The figure-8 pattern ribbon design has a unique response curve that flatters many instruments: guitar, piano, drum overheads, violin, etc. If you like to record and want to try out a ribbon mic without spending lots of money, here is a chance. This baby retails for $225.00. Yes, it is made in China, but the Chinese have been making quality microphones for 30 years. Email...for more info

JBL 4309

  The DCHFG Demo Gear program for members is starting out nicely: Ralph Cager is trying out the ultra-clean, Benchmark DAC3B D/A converter; Kirk Walterick, the Pass Lab XP-12 FET preamplifier; Chris Barker the Benchmark HPA4 headphone amp/preamplifier; and yours truly is taking a listening spin with the JBL 4309 Synergy bookshelf/stand two-way speakers. Look for DCHFG Forum impressions on these and other loaners from other members. We have also added a Coda/Legacy preamp to try out list. It is 1990s, but the older units are pretty close to the current pre, and this one is in perfect shape, and was spec'd by Coda a few years ago.
