As I hear it told, the 610 is a classic design... that has some well-known limitations in terms of headroom. And yeah, it ain't pretty when you blow it out... I'm very hot/cold on them. They seem to shine on some sources & mics, while seeming just plain wrong on others...
[Random: At one point recently I had to match a vocal tone that were recorded on some 1066s that weren't available for the overdubs. At the suggestion of the studio owner, I tried the 610... Mic was an e49, iirc... the 610 was eeeeeeerily close, with just a bit more fur in the treble, on that source. I was stunned at the similarity.]
