Crap. I was hoping to post this before Filltrate unveiled the mics' identities... Oh, well.

Anyway, I listened to the clips blindly 'cause I was curious what I will really like without the hype factor. My choices were:

B
C
E
A
D

So I liked the C800 the least. I'm thinking I liked U67 better than the C800 because in these particular clips it sounds kinda like my old R0DE NTV, which I'm quite used to. But I liked U47 the best when we were listening to the mics in the studio and then again when doing the blind test. I must say considering the Faust is just over a grand it did pretty well against mics 7-10 times the price.

I wish we had a better vocalist than me. There are some people whose voices just sound record-ready through any mic. Mine requires a bit of processing to make it good enough even for a trash can, let alone for a record.

I was hoping I'd have the pics from the studio by now but the girl who took the pictures is being very slow to upload them. It will probably be another week before I get the pics.

Mad props to Filltrate for letting me into the studio and allowing to breath on $30000 worth of mics. Totally kick-ass!!!
