    I have no idea if it would work, but I do have a spare CRT monitor if you blow yours up.

    Maybe look into a direct box? I had to use one when recording to change the ohms between the instrument & the usb interface in the tower.

      I’ll take a look at it. The CRT is a bit sentimental to me (it’s the same model as the one my first PC had, managed to find one on eBay in good condition after like, a year of searching) which is why I’m concerned about blowing it up. However, I might see if any electronics recycling places in my area have a shitty, beat-up CRT TV they’d be willing to part with. That said, I discovered recently that most of the remaining recycling places in my area are run by computer enthusiasts and tend to sell or hold onto anything with any value like CRTs though, so wish me luck.

      Kinda genius really. Into old PCs but don’t wanna pay eBay prices for them? Become an electronics recycler and then people will pay you to take their old SGI workstations and Sony BVMs.
