I came across 2 Altec mic pre-amplifiers last week – each 4 rack spaces and 50 pounds.  One works perfectly and one has an issue (don’t we all).  The issue one has a weird distortion out of the monitor jack.  It’s my favorite, everybody already has good sounding stuff, right?  It turns out I had to move half the rack stuff in my stuff to fit these Atlecs in.  And I did – The End.
