Good point - learning how to use the stuff comes first... I think that from a certain level of quality upwards, mic placement matters even more than an individual mic's quality... Just as great preamps and converters don't automatically make great recordings, great mics can't do so, either...

Strange - no 460 or 480 has ever failed me in mid-operation...
