yeah well bring on those lame thread resurrection comments i can take it, these deserve more attention anyhow
AT-706 en route going to be nice to try the boost on the 706's dual input adapter box. Yep still loving these things, never could stop. Like fine wine, never gets old and always classy.
Hmmm interesting ( or not )I see from the posted specs that the
high and
low toggle there simply drops the DB boost down from normal to lower. 36 db boost high/ 30 db boost low -----on these 706, whereas if the specs are right on the 705 they are always driven at 36 DB boost. Curious.
Only real difference seems to be an SPL of +4 on the 706, as if that's really noticable. Marketing alive and well back then even.
I'm not complaining though.
Have a spare 706 also sitting in a drawer some older audio fella hacked a really nice TOTL gold TRS to the cable end, not sure why since they would get zilch for input even off terminals directly. Must have had some different arrangement going on. Those drivers will likely be used for the P.W.B. Black spare set restoration, since they are identical to what P.W.B. used right up to the near exact year range and very well damped in the black housings ( goosebump material ), but all that is useless info basically, might be of interest to someone, and I should stress that "one" part. Nobody 'cept me cares about P.W.B. stuff really... Maybe Jadeast...
The other restored P.W.B.Black set has a transplanted set of
rare AT-707 drivers in them, nice silver foil dust/moisture guard. But before you cringe no they were already out of their shell, I didn't ruin anything rare.
All this talk of
spares on rare stuff, you'd think a person was obsessed or something.
( I like talking to myself here )
