Still no Yamaha HS8s! Maybe next year.
Nevertheless, since the last contest, I added a SM7, a Ribbon Mic, an Aphex 500 Series Aural Exciter (with BIG BOTTOM) and two plug-ins.

Here's a song recorded with Diocide's Orgone Boost, Nozh Fuzz and Spiryus Distortions:

It was a tough choice between Rooner and Loop. No point wasting a vote on a third party.
Sheesh! I love to have either studio. Really dug Loop's pedal board drawer and piano bar.
In the end, I voted for the Royer, robotic mic stand and Culture Vulture.

[Tortuga]

Loved both of those, but if I had the opportunity to chose one for my own, I'd have to go with Loop's full-blown mancave. Having that much sq footage (mine is only 11x14 ) would be a dream.

this was exactly my thinking too
