DovJ Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 @stokely I"m using a K&M boom that doesn"t require an adapter. It"s a euro style 3/8' mount. Either way, do you know what"s the part number for the metal version of the plate? Thanks! Quote An acoustically decent home studio full of hand-picked gear that I love to play and record with!

DovJ Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 The plate is also pretty flimsy, and they sell a metal version, but I haven't needed it. Anyway, the solution I found for the bolt is to put a different size no-head bolt that didn't require an adapter (smaller than the 5/8" adapter, works with the booms as-is), and on the underside of the plate put another nut and washer and tighten that down. This way it can't fall down or move at all and I never have to open the top (well, unless I wanted to remove one tier, which is a bummer with this stand if you want to only have one tier for certain gigs.) Do you know the K&M part number for the replacement metal plate? Quote An acoustically decent home studio full of hand-picked gear that I love to play and record with!

Hi there, this is what I considered: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1105880-REG/k_m_18853_000_55_18853_adapter_for_spider.html/?ap=y&ap=y&smp=y&smp=y&lsft=BI%3A514&gclid=CjwKCAiAiKuOBhBQEiwAId_sKzJtTAbpv8Y7_pprrDZIH9-Jr8wBGCwBRprgTjzmuCThrjyC01mbAhoCnNMQAvD_BwE Again, my main issue wasn't the plate itself, it was the bolt that goes through it. I'd have to take off my plate to remember exactly what I did to help hold the bolt there, but it hasn't budged since I made the change. The plate has held up for 200 gigs or so.

For some reason the link didn"t work, but I figured out the part number from the link (K&M 18853) and found it on Thomann for $13.75. I see why the issue isn"t really this plate, but rather how the boom is attached to it. Again, thank you!

TWizzle Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Does being your own Santa count? I've been looking for my "Holy Grail" board for a few years now... a 73-key board with quality weighted action and awesome AP and EP sounds. Loved the Nord sounds, developed a love/hate relationship with the TP100 on the HP models though. Then saw the Piano 5 73 had the same action as the 88-key model. Was able to do an A/B comparison of the Piano 5 vs the Yamaha YC - liked the Nord sound and action better than the Yamaha. Sold my Electro 6 HP two days before Christmas, used the money (plus only a couple hundred bucks more) to buy the NP 5 73. It arrived on Tuesday and it's everything I've ever wanted.

GRollins Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Late November: Managed an insane score on a Bag End 18" sub with Infra-M EQ. (If only I could have that sort of luck with the lottery...) Early December: Behringer 2600. Finally. Santa'ed both of those myself. Then Mrs. Santa got me the Behringer 914 filter while it was on sale. Very useful for those of us who find the static-like click at the beginning of synthetic drum strokes to be highly annoying...filter anything above, say, 250-350Hz. Problem solved. Then do the Deep Oscillator thing and blend the synth drum with a sampled real orchestral bass drum and you've got something that will dust off your (sub)woofers and actually sound like a drum instead of an alien farting outside your window.

drawback Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Two Yorkville EXM Mobile 8's, just before Christmas. Not only are they great-sounding, lightweight battery-powered keyboard/PA speakers, they're awesome for Bluetooth streaming audio anywhere around the house. Better specs than the JBL EON One Compacts. https://yorkville.com/loudspeakers/excursion/product/exm-mobile-8/ Quote ____________________________________ Rod Here for the gear.

bjosko Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 First music oriented gift, got a Mackie Element Condenser microphone from my nephew, since he heard that I had a home studio. Well, my singing are crap, and I do not do YouTube videos, so I had to order a Harley Benton acoustic guitar to use the microphone with â¦.. Now I have to learn a bit more guitar, but hopefully it will learn me to be more precisely with my pitch bendsâ¦..

Boricua Synth Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Was gifted a n Arturia Polybrute. Now the fun begins with the anticipated steep learning curve. I sure do love the sounds that this incredible device produces. Need to learn to play K/B since I have never played Piano before. Any recommendations? Thanks!
