Thanks a lot for the info, folks! I think I'm going to look into starting out with a Masterlink.

Ari, you're not highjacking anything. Glad you popped in. I've spent several months this year evaluating [ link ---> ] over 40 pairs of small condenser mics. There's some good ones out there, but I've got to say for purest location recording I really like the Earthworks mics. And having evaluated over 40 mic pres, Millennia HV-3 wins hands down in my book.

You can listen to a pair of Earthworks QTC1's on drum OH's through a Millennia HV-3D on this jazz recording. You can download a 320 bitrate MP3 of "NY Blues" at http://www.thelisteningsessions.com/jazzooo.htm

All the "space", "air", and 3-dimensional imagery is mostly the QTC1/HV-3 combo.
