At some point, I might ask you what you could do for one or both of them. (thanks so much for the MXL 603 mods, and when the budget allows, I'll get a new MJE-K47H) |
+1 thumbsup my experience is the same.
My V77 is original - never bright or sibilant. I've [almost] always prefered V77 to U87 for close vocals (you can call me crazy).
The lower midrange is really a bit too strong and the original valve sounds a bit noisy (althought nice) for my taste.
If you can arrange a mod for the V77, I would like to be included (so I would do everything together with my two MK-219s).
So now it would be 3 V77s to mod in 2010?
To seriousfun: how do you like using your two V77s in stereo, for not-so-close to far sources (so more indirect than direct sound)? I envy you, in a good sense!
all the best,
