A lot of our customers buy condenser mic's, and have no idea what phantom power is. You ask them do you have phantom power? They say one of two things. Yes. (Which usually means they think it must be automaticly "on" all the time.) Or they say, What's phantom power? But the mic still must be defective because no sane human being would be going through the trouble of exchanging a perfectly good mic. I can understand some just wanting an excuse to get their money back, it happens all the time. But these jokers want exactly the same thing back in exchange. And I'm talking at least 8 out of 10 of these guys want a new one again. And here's the kicker. My phantom power at my bench must be the only phantom power in the world that really works because 9 out of 10 of them work just peachy. Ok, I feel better... venting over. thumbsup
To quote a great man, "The reason people use mail order or internet music stores is because they are too intimidated to go into a real store where the sales men are all too heated up comparing how big their "shredders" are to be bothered with mongoloid mom and dad trying to set little Jonny up with a 100$ guitar that he'll pick up twice and never look at again because the "musicians" who aught to be teaching are once again over compensating for their little jimmys with their finger calisthenics." No joke he said that it one breath. Another great quote from the Tommy Andrews file. When asked for the missing "instructions" for a 200$ drumset for 30th time in one day he screamed as he typed, "The're called LESSONS!"
