My D200 is now over 20 years old, and while it shows its age, it still works.  The 300 F/4 I keep permanently attached to it is from 1987, but it has aged like a fine wine.  I use the combination to catch the local wildlife, usually without leaving my house. The "lawn crew."  This is from September, and the Hathaway house has now seen major renovations.  More on that later.   An osprey looking for lunch.    The corner of the mower shed is a prime squirrel snack bar.   "I have an acorn, and you don't!"   *honk* *honk*  Canada geese don't actually like the pond that much, because it's surrounded by trees.  They prefer Sweetened Water Pond, across the street.  Even though it's a much smaller pond, it's open and they find id easier to access.  With that said, the geese will sometimes slum it and land in Jernegan pond.   The ducks are slightly more frequent in their appearances, but they too prefer the more open pond.   A great blue heron taking off the moment he caught sight of me.  Herons do NOT like humans.   *gobble* Survived another thanksgiving.   I took a bunch of photos of this fatso, but I've only one I've edited so far.   Tune in next time for fall colors, antique lenses, and irritated kitties.

The sm7b is a fine choice for a podcasting mic with some form of cloud lifter or a preamp that can add 60+db cleanly.   An sm58 is probably also good enough and doesn’t require the extra gain.    recording speakers with a shitty diy head mic instead of just running the turntable into an adc like you’re doing a needle drop will make for an experience that is painful to listen to. 

Well, there are true portable amplifiers, for example, the Stax D10, but its runtime is 3.5 hours. Which is pretty funny. This HVRV can also be used with some kind of 12V power bank of a similar size. But then we have to carry two boxes. And why do you even need portable amplifiers.. Almost all Stax headphones are open-back. Unless we using a Stax 4070. But I think only a few people in the world have such a setup. Probably no one does. It's much more promising to simply have a portable, small amplifier that we can easily take  on a trip, for example, put in a suitcase. The 10 kg kgsshv is hard to fit in a suitcase. And this one is just right.
