Looking for audio recording equipment

[prog.livejournal.com]

Howdy neighbors,

I have a somewhat urgent need for some studio-type audio recording equipment -- shotgun mics, mixers, that sort of thing. I find it hard to search for places to buy this stuff using the Web; the many places that sell speakers and stereo equipment tend to capture all the keywords I throw at it.

I'm rolling across the river to visit Guitar Center now, but would love to hear about any other places in the vicinity that might be able to set me up. Thanks!

And if you happen to be a Harvard employee, or know one, Harvard has a very nice discount program with B&H - I've saved from $5-$50 on sound gear pricing from them that way.

You/your friend need to go to the B&H site via the Harvard purchasing site, which requires a Harvard ID PINSYSTEM access. Go to this link (http://vpf-web.harvard.edu/ofs/procurement/protected/ven_par_bnh.shtml) - it will ask for the Harvard PIN login, then take you to a link for B&H. When You get to the B&H site, you should see a a turquoise flag on the left side saying "Welcome Harvard University" - this indicates you will get the discount pricing (e.g. a Yamaha CP33 keyboard is usually $999, but with this link displays as $777).

Really? Damn. You, ah, wouldn't happen to have a Harvard ID that fell off the back of a truck or something? Daddy needs a better long shottie.

...Wait, forget that last part.

I do! My Harvard ID number from last year (when I took Summer and Extension courses) still works to access this page. If this is helpful to either of you, let me know and maybe I can arrange something.
