I had a CAD VX2, their dual tube top of the line mic - $2,000. It was very nice in all respects for vocals and acoustic instruments, etc.

I needed some money, so I sold it and bought a SP C3 for $330. I like it muc better than the CAD VX2. I use it with an Apogee Trak2 and I also have the SP VTB1, and Aphex 207 and Joe Meek TwinQCs. It sounds great through all these pres and especially the Trak2. Vocals are fantastic with it.

There are lots of reviews of this mic by many different people - top pros and project studio guys, and almost all of them rave about this mic in terms of build quality and especially sonic quality.

It is not a cheap mic. It is an excellent mic that is inexpensive. I also had a TLM103, and the C3 is just as good, if not better as far as the results go.

And Alan doesn't hang out on forums to hype his stuff. He hangs out to answer questions and interact with users. I applaud him for that.
