Often the proximal distance and the setup makes a big difference.

New mics, with modern technology, and good setup should not make a huge difference.

Perhaps for recording I guess maybe, but live, I don't dig the difference. Now if you are a showman,

Dream, when you're feeling blue....

well that's going to sell if you have one of those old fashioned mics.

Some of them get in the way otherwise.

I'll give it a listen when I'm back from the Last night at the Proms on at 2:30 EST here, live from Royal Alber Hall. I know I'm going to end up blubbering like a baby.

I sure am getting weird though, the thyroid meds got me off my chair and I'm cleaning the garage, polishing the brass, and getting creative. I didn't realize how out of it I was. Now to slowly increase it and make me superman. LOL, NOT.
