i got a 610(reissue) early on for that exact reason, and unfortunately it doesn't do what its supposed to. I have found uses for it, but to be honest it isn't often used.
check out the soul stirrers mid period recordings. They are pretty primitive, but the combination of the way Sam sang at that point and the way it was captured is pretty powerful.
And come on now..A change is gonna come--have we topped that?
It is rare these days to hear a singer recorded the way they did then. Raphael Sadique(sp?) gets close at times, and he has some pretty good pipes, but its just hard to nail that vibe, even when the singer is spot on
