I have the Innertube Mag Mic and it is unreal. To me, it is very big sounding and has an excellent proximity effect on male vocals. I have no plans of ever getting rid of it.

I spoke with Stayne about the 87 mod and he told me this story (you'll have to take it with a grain of salt):

He said that he sent one of the very 1st one's over to a famous producer who's name rhymes with Spock (he he he). Stayne called to see how he liked the modded 87 and was told by said producer that he threw it up for the hell of it as a drum room mic. Said producer mentioned that it sounded bigger and better than the whole miced up kit.

I have no idea what the mag mic and modded u87 may have in common, if anything at all. For the price of the mag mic, I'd just buy one of those. Better yet, call Stayne and get his opinion, he is a great guy!

If I got the story mixed up, hopefully Stayne will chime in.
