Thanks a lot for the kind efforts.
To my humble ears the difference seems obvious. The example of the new shockmount simply has more from everything, frequency ( especially low mids ) room ( almost like cardioid to omni ) and presence.
Hadn´t I experienced the difference between a buffered and unbuffered stand myself just days ago, I would had assumed that you had been closer to the mic with the new shockmount example.
After my trial with isolating the stand I posted about it in another thread and speculated about suspect build up and cancellation from vibrations either going from the floor through the stand into the mic, or / and eventually even through the mics housing when being hold too elastically with rubber strings (?).
It is weird on first glance that a mic can be better isolated through a stiff construction than through an elastical one, but apparently that´s how it is.
I suppose everybody will be profitting from the new insight, even if it will be costing him almost 300 bucks for a rather simple construction.
But the advantage of freeing the signal from mud and FQ loss should be making things so much easier and better during mixing time. thumbsup
