Yes, I can hear a difference between phrases. Not sure that difference in anything more than signal level?



Admittedly, it is subtle. I suspect it may take a very trained ear to hear the characteristic sound differences between a dynamic mic versus a condenser, the SM57 and Rode NT1A, respectively. Both are indeed excellent mics. In fact, in a blind study between coke and pepsi I can definitely identify each 100% of the time attesting to how “trained” my sense of taste is. My ear may not be so good in a blind test of the two mics.

But unless my voice developed a new sense of clarity between takes, I can hear a warmth which distinguishes the two mics – at least to my ear.
