Sixty Now

Visiting pigs for my 60th birthday.

I'm kinda interested in these shelf EQ's by Neumann. There are numerous versions out there. Link Audio Design makes the W92X which is a 500-series module. As far as I can tell, the circuit is fairly simple and straightforward (although uses a lot of parts because rather than infinitely-variable potentiometers it uses switches.) They're just under 400 Euros assembled.

New Systems Instruments makes a number of interesting-looking Eurorack modules. Here is a quad M/S encoder/decoder. An oddity with Eurorack is that the input and output voltage standards are different from both prosumer and professional audio.
