Okay, so the mic made its way to the UPS center just down the street from me and should be at my house by this afternoon. I'll hopefully have the thing in my hands this evening and can get it hooked up and try it out for a bit. As soon as I can get some real time with it I will give some feedback.
I'm not hoping for much at this level, especially when I'm used to the sound of AEA, Royer, and Beyer ribbons, but I'm ever optimistic. Depending on the sound, there may be a tranny swap in its future...
