FWIW.. I have the T-3 and it's a good mic.. I also have the HDW Audio #203 Tube mic ( that I'm trying to sell...
..)..that sounds similar as the T-3.. ( the reason I'm selling it..).. It actually is bigger sounding in the bottom, probably due to the NOS tube in it.. Not bad for the price as it cheaper than both mic mentioned.As mentioned, you can't go wrong with the T-3 tho'..Good luck...!
