thanks for doing this!

i'm not sure i could say one is better than the other. it's pretty obvious which one is the modified one but i still can see how the stock one would work awesome as drum overheads and or sax. the stocks a bit muffled but in a smooth way while the lundahl opens the mic up more and seems to give it a touch more depth.

i think you would have done better recording a single instrument with the mics but the tests still give an alright distinction between the two. in the end i think i would just spend more on a nicer stock ribbon mic than put any money into modifying it.
