Of course, the Mic by itself is no guarantee of success, one must also consider the higher cost of a Mic Preamp worthy of the Mic's specs as well. The other side of that coin is just as you state regarding the "10X" price thing: I don't believe cost v performance is a linear correlation. The Law of Diminishing Return kicks in really hard and fast when the word, "Audiophile" is applied... --Mac PGmusic FAQs, Tutorials and Updates! click here You must be Audiominds. www.audiominds.com
