The only MXL i currently own is the 2001. I've had that for at least 7 years, probably closer to 10, I'm losing count, but it was a long time ago.

Now and then, it's exactly what a certain vocal needs, but it's noisy, and limited in what it can do. But it's funny. I was once doing a just for kicks version of I Can't Smile Without You... and none of the mics sounded right, I dusted off the 2001 for ha-has, and it sounded awesome for that Manilow cover. go figure!

I am interested in picking up an MXL tube mic, but not sure which yet. I'm leaning toward the 960 or V76t. Lots of kind words about those two out there on the interwebs.
