I've never *known* a mic was right from reviews (without hearing it), but I do hope it turns out to be the perfect one.


I guess I was saying that I just have my heart set on getting a Shure 55SH. But now that I've seen this:

I'll be going to Guitar Center and/or Sam Ash (no eBay for the mic!) to try the Shure 55SH and, while I'm there, I'll probably check out the Shure SM57 also. But, well, the mics I have now are probably good themselves. (The Electro-Voice PL91A and Peavey PVM580TN, with the edge going toward the ELV for me.) Also, and this might be a bit strange, but the "Cool Factor" means something to me as well and, to ME, the Shure 55SH has it.

Hmmm, was the Shure 57 originally designed as in INSTRUMENT mic?

P.S. I was actually GLAD I was outbid on eBay for the Shure 55SH. My high bid was $91.53.
