Pretty cool for a mic that you don't care about spilling beer on.
I really have been intrigued by these mics and came really close to getting a pair but then a deal I couldn't pass up presented itself (Peavey/AMR VMP-2 and an AKG 414 B/ULS for $750.00) so I had to pass on the Fatheads. I see now that there is a version of these with a Lundahl transformer, with an accompanying price hike to $300.00 per. I would love to hear some clips of these, other than what is on the Cascade website.
