CBS Audimax III

B

BobOnTheJob

Here's the deal...I want to raise the funds to buy Breakaway Live processing software for superoldies1580.com's stream. I've been given the OK sell WIFE's original Audimax III with original manual (it says May 1967 in the manual). I plugged it in, it passes audio, the meter moves to some degree & the 1kc tone (I had to be true to what it says in the manual) is distorted when the drive is increased beyond a certain point. When I plugged it in, the meter showed more movement and the output level recovered when the level was reduced. Now that it's been plugged in for several hours, it's somewhat less responsive. I'm at a cross roads...I need $129 plus shipping to buy Breakaway. If someone on here wants it for $129 plus whatever type of shipping you prefer (it is 100% complete--I remember when it was in use), end of story. If not, I'll fix it & toss it on eBay. PM if interested...
 
Why?

I use the $29.95 Breakaway on the Barix test streams, and many (including here) have stated that they are among the best sounding online.

If you're really broke, Stereo Tool is easily 85% of Breakaway and it's free.

Hmmmm...I was told by the Breakaway folks that the $29.95 version doesn't have the Pipeline to allow a feed directly into Windows Media Encoder, that it would only feed a sound card to get it's output heard. True or false?

250 watt day/4.6 watt nights at the top of the dial in a factory based town, where most of the factories are empty. Only way I can get anything is to sell stuff.

Tell me about Stereo Tool...will it feed Windows Media Encoder directly without having to be outputted to a sound card & fed back into another sound card?
 
The 30 dollar Breakaway has one pipeline. I use it to feed Winamp's crossfader into Breakaway, then I output Breakaway to my sound card. The pipeline shows up in Winamp as one of the output options.
So yes, you do need to use the sound card for output. BUT you can get some great sounding soundcards for cheap-like the Audigy for 30 dollars and another 14 for their digital input and output adapter. Since you'd be staying digital, there's no quality loss at all (see below how I feed Shoutcast).

Then I come out of the sound card (a M Audio Delta 192) coax SP/DIF output into a Y adapter. One side of the Y feeds a Barix Instreamer's coax digital input and the other goes back into the sound card's SP/DIF input. This is how I feed the Shoutcast encoder I use for AAC+ encoding.

Stereo Tool comes two ways-as a DSP plug-in for Winamp and as a stand alone program (with a pipeline).

Here are the three links for my test streams:

http://barix.b2netsolutions.com:8020 (64 kbps AAC+ with title info)

http://barix.b2netsolutions.com:8030 (48 kbps AAC+ with title info)
