I've just had a proper listen to the samples of the modded 319 and V67...
They do both share a full-bodied sound. Other than that, they do sound quite different, to me anyway.
The V67 sounds "gloss" to the 319's "sheen". The V67 does sound pretty clean and uncongested, compared to how I remember it from the past, so I'd say it is a significant upgrade. It also still sounds like a V67...
If I had to chose between them, for my purposes, I'd take the 319 by a significant margin. It does sound a bit more "boring" than the V67, but my guess would be that it is a lot more tweakable. Still, the V67 has a certain sound to it that I imagine would be quite useful in a lot of cases, but my guess would be that it is going to be less versatile than the 319. (I am very partial to the modded 319; it has been a great mic for me.)
In any case, that's just my take. I'm impressed with the changes made to the mic... this is an excellent service you are offering, Michael... I can imagine myself getting my V67 modded... certainly, if I did, I would actually use it, rather than having it gather dust in a cupboard.
