Have do you compared with AT 4051 or Josephson C42 or any other? If yes, which applications?

thanks
Let's see - I've compared them to the Oktavas, SM81s, B&K 4003, Earthworks TC 30ks, AT4050 (I know not small condensors but I've used them on overheads and piano in cnoparison with the Pelusos), EV VP-88. Royer 121 as well, although a ribbon I've used in similar applications.

I've used them as drum overheads, piano, and as a spaced pair in front of an orchestra and a small jazz ensemble, on acoustic guitars. I think they're great. Very neutral and warm. Not brittle like the Oktavas and more present than the 81s. I preferred them to the Earthworks as well. The B&Ks were the great. Nothing to complain about them. I wish I had a pair.
