As always, thanks a lot, that you're here guys ! That is the only place that helps to start up cutting !
Less than year ago I get Rek-O-Kut M-12 with M-41-8 head to start my cutting way,
and I was surprised, how good it can sounds to me ))
So that was start for my sound art archive project:
http://cyland.bandcamp.com/
Of course it sounds less than semi-pro, but I was happy to get it sound at all )
So not some time ago I decide to invest some more money, and accidentally get burned Grampian D and suitcase Rek-O-Kut M-5 lathe, that seems to be my sweet company for many years.
Grampian is mostly done, and very soon it will come from service.
In parallel I working on feedback summing pre-amp, based on schematics that I found here, thanks Flo, Mark, and others who answered my questions this year...
But I want to be fully weaponed when Grampian will back home !
And most important question now - how to calibrate sound source -> pre-amp -> power amp and the head?
I just bought old level meter from big console - BEAG MAK 113, heard that it is very nice and precise meter.
It is stereo, so I can use it's two channel separately, to control different points level.
How to do next right ? Meter after preamp? After power amp? How much volts I need to run on Grampian at 1000Hz?
How to calibrate my rack to 0db?
I'm sorry, I'm still profan on most things, trying to read books, but on english it hurts, I do, but get 10% information right way

Help me to save my new gear !
Best wishes from St.Petersburg !
