it is quite a psychological phenomenon... i have some run of the mill mics and then i have some great sounding ones. Whenever i put up one of my more classic ones, you can see it in their eyes..
I'm guilty of it myself, yesterday i went to record some tracks of me playing pedal steel on a production i'm currently working on and i was like "Let me pull out one of my ribbons cause i haven't used it recently.." and instantly when i saw it and heard it i got totally stoked to play my part on the song....
its just funny how it works... nice vintage gear makes someone feel like they've accomplished something by getting in front of it, thus making their performance even better.... or on the contrary could make them feel intimidated.
but i've mostly seen the artist get excited.
