It (the Gold) doesn't have the body and presence that I like for vocals... YMMV though.

I think this topic's been covered before, search and see what others have said about it.

Kinda agree, but with some female vocalists - the Manley has the magic - It recently beat out a vintage U47 and C12.

So how often do you use the Brauner?????
