do not out rule a good ribbon
 
 
Ha, I was going to apologize for dissapearing after posting ( I hate that), then I see this. The reason is I've been on the phone with salesman at different stores and they had mentioned the same thing. You guys have been great. As I said in my original post it's impossible for me to test these mics out. You have mentioned likes and dislikes but also reasons which helps, instead of " I like it, it sounds warm".
 
some great advice, with the preamps also.
