That's what this post was about, not a pissing match as to which was better. Except for the Joly modded 205. Now THAT mic......  |
nope, and I wasn't pointing out any views on it either, only on my personal use of 121s (which is limited but at least I've used them professionally) and of the fathead (which I tried a couple times but haven't gotten to use professionally, but at least I'm familiar with it's sound a little bit).
I mostly think I got my point across though, no worries. :-)
I can't say anything about the cd, haven't heard and probably won't hear it. I don't put enough trust into other people's ideas of how something should be recorded to bother getting a cd LoL. Even the listening sessions site only gives a vague idea of what each mic sounds like, and while it's a great resource and fairly well done, I personally don't think that any of it is really worth deciding on a mic purchase (er, "based on" should be in that sentence somewhere, holy grammar batman!). unless I get to use a mic for a while myself, I won't say what's good or bad for my needs. I know I love my stock 205s LoL. 121s are great mics, quite a bit better performing and more even frequency response (from my experience anyway) than the fathead or 205. Does that make them better mics? depends on how you want to use them...
Cheers,
Don
