I don't think it's a dumb question at all.

I guess I'm old and crabby, but at $2,000 all you get is yet another cute mic. The sound would absolutely blow me away for this to be worth it, and how can you tell? You pretty much have to buy it to find out.

My biggest complaint with the UM70 is that when I put it in front of singers they don't take it seriously. It looks like a little lollipop. I don't see how this mod fixes that image problem at all. It could make it worse.

"That's funny. Now bring me a real mic."

Yeah, yeah, like I said, maybe I'm getting old and crabby.
