This is maybe a daft question, but is there somewhere with more information on which model does what? I'm looking at a mic purchase soon, and the Beesneez stuff looks great, but I'm not enough of a boffin to know what to expect of the various different tube, tranny and capsule combinations. This seems to be the only solid info on the site.

Is there somewhere in Sydney that I can hear a few of these? Or is there someone around that might be kind enough to give a basic rundown of what the various "names" sound like? (really subjective stuff, admittedly, but anything to put me in the ballpark would be great)

I've used enough 47s, C12s, M49s (and the beautiful 251 at Universal Music Publishing in L.A.) etc. to know what I want - just hoping I can get near the sound I'm after without going the full AU$10k monty for the "real deal".

Thanks in advance.
