Thanks Dr. Bill!!!!
You are spot on about the performances.....the best way audition mics, IMHO, is to work each for it's sweat spot(s).
But since.......

I wish our vocalist had 5 brains in 5 heads with 5 sets of ears and 5 mouths so that he could work each mic separately the way each individual mic would have preferred to be worked in a real world situation, but alas, all 5 headed aliens were booked for the day.

A Ha ha ha ha ha......they were at my place auditioning mics for me. I'll send them over when they finish.
I'm downloading the tube wavs now, already listened to the SS.
Since I'm not shy, listening on my trusty beat up old Sony MDR-7506 from the laptop, here are my guesses for now........
#1 Neumann U87
#2 no sibilance, clean but warm - Michael Joly modded Oktava 319.
#3 sizzly when pushed - Michael Joly modded CAD GXL3000 (although I've never heard the mic)
#4 Microtech Gefell M71S/UM70 - similar to #1 but a bit cleaner/leaner.
What do I win for round one?
Okay....waiting for the last tube .wav.....
