Hey Man...
I've noticed slowly as I'm upgrading different parts of my signal chain, I am boosting the high end (and lowering around 250 hz) less and less. When I first started and was using a C1 into like an aphex 207 pre to aardvark converters it was eq central... boosting like 8 db - 12 db over the whole high spectrum and cutting severly at around 250 hz to get that same clarity you're talking about... now with the Lawson L47 (which I just recieved from mitch today... awesome mic and smoothest transaction ever) into the portico into the RME... I boosted maybe 2 db around 13 khz and cut maybe 2 db around 250 hz and got that same clarity with very little processing... I think it takes some deprogramming of your ears but it's most likely the delta converters and maybe your preamp selection(?). But yeah since upgrading a lot of my stuff... the only instruments I boost highs on are toms, snare, kick and vocals and it's no where like it used to be.

Reading this over it seems like rambling. Sorry. :P
