"...I am reminded of you and your infectious passion for what you do every time I walk into my studio now. I love seeing the equipment you made for me with your own hands, knowing the fact that I share that stage, so to speak, with so many highly successful artists, producers, and engineers. The look, feel of the controls, the aroma of warm tubes and analog circuits everything helps to create a confidence and excitement about what I'm doing. Your equipment functions and sounds like a million bucks. Thanks for keeping me from wasting my money at "#@$%$". You really deliver. You said you would, and you did it, man.

Everett Young, Decator, GA
Neve 33114 Pair

"Got the (Neve) 33114 pair earlier today, and I'm just trying to figure out how to put together the money to get another pair. Let me say that within minutes of plugging them in, it became obvious they were considerably superior to any other preamp in my studio, including a Demeter all-tube pre and my Neve 1272s. My favorite pres, some Cadacs from the early 70s, also place a distant 2nd... The 33114s dominate not only in having more balls, but in 3-dimensionality, clarity and character, All at once...

...Also, the presentation is wonderful. The box looks great, is tightly put together, and the switches feel totally solid. A terrific box worth every penny of the 4 grand.

Your service has been impeccable to this point, as well. You are almost always at your telephone, even after hours, to answer questions. You shipped me the gear promptly and didn't make me wonder when I'd get it. You said I'd get it today, and today it sure enough arrived.

I appreciate all of this very much, and I want you to know I am a totally satisfied customer. I have negotiated the waters of the vintage gear sales market numerous times, and until now, I have always had an experience that was not entirely positive. You may rest assured that in the future, whenever I'm in the market for vintage gear, if it's an item you offer, I will buy it from you. Thanks again..."

Dave at M.A.L. has always been readily available and happy to answer my questions accurately, honestly, and in-depth... the service is outstanding, and it is obvious he really knows the business, and does it well. I highly recommend M.A.L."

Stuart Sullivan (Arch Angels, Meat Puppets), Austin TX
Custom Racked Telefunken/Siemens V72a Pair

"After having used V-72a's racked by 5 different guys, Dave's are by far the best sounding. Full in the lower-mids, clear and sweet on the upper-mids, good noise floor, plenty of gain for ribbon mics and no hums or buzzes. Solid grounding and shielding the power supply from the audio chain keep the V-72a's clean in all sorts of recording environments were other gear buzzes. When i first got them popping the top and looking inside was the first order of business. Very clean, efficient wiring, sturdy mounting and audio wiring on one side, AC wiring on the other. I've tried my best to abuse this box both physically and electronically for the last three years and it has continued to sound and work great. These V-72a's sound excellent, look cool, and don't seem to break easily....what else is there...?"

Robert Paul, Seattle, WA
Custom Racked Telefunken/Siemens V72 Pair

"Dave's work is excellent... Well thought out component placement, superb craftsmanship, expert electronics work. My V72 rack is my most used mic-pres, because it's so easy to work with - direct inputs on the front, phantom power, custom gains, etc. It looks and feels like NASA gear - heavy-effin-duty. I wish all my gear was racked like this. If you need custom racking, Dave's your man."

Lyle Workman (Beck, Frank Black, Jelly Fish, Nike), Glendale CA

"M.A.L. makes great racks of first class gear, Dave M. is friendly and informative in regards to his excellent products and services... David M. and M.A.L. together can destroy schools of fish just by looking at them. They can render women limp and satisfied by a stoke of their hand, Can turn water into kool-aid (cherry), Can start a fire with nothing but paper and some matches, Can speak every variety of English and will go out of their way to make sure the consumer has paid in full. Their knowledge of Audio only surpassed by their love of badminton, (they) aren't afraid of crying at weddings"

He added isolated power, phantom on/off and phase reversal for each channel. Wired it with Mogami cable and always answered the phone to let me know his progress while building it. Since then I've bought so many V-76, V-72, V-78 dopplegangers in The Marquette custom rack for resale that practically every hi-fi and low-fi rocker in LA that actually makes records owns one.
