Yeah, whatever the problem was it has been fixed. The good thing about owning a vintage product like this is that I'll be less prone to upgraditis... since the company is closed and there will be no new flagship product to upstage it!

With my Darin Fong Audio OOYH, a warm laid-back sound signature is just what I needed. The OOYH (and my previous Realiser A8, for that matter) is unbelievably holographic but at the same time makes the sound a bit aggressive and sharp in the upper registers.

By the way, does anyone know how to upload an image into a post? If I click the insert image button, no window pops up and the word "[img.][/img.]" is simply generated, that's it.

I managed to take a cleaner shot of my desktop rig with a DSLR, but still can't upload the damn pic on this website... this link will have to do.

Hmmm. I only have the e88cc valvos. Finding it hard to get 'real' telefunkels in a pair.
