There are people who would argue that sound clips have no value because there are too many variables involved in the process of creating a clip, but at least a clip shows at least one possible outcome from using a particular piece of gear. To me that's at least a small step above a bunch of opinion/B.S. posted on a thread.

Thanks!
I just finished reading that mondo "gear everyone hates" thread and someone noticed a trend that I, too, was noticing. People either love the Royer sound on cabs and hate the 57, or love the 57 and hate the Royer. I personally dont love either the ribbon sound (yet) or the 57(never have)... but the better attributes of both could be pretty incredible if blended well. Soooo... I'm going to attempt getting both in phase and going from there and seeing what a blend will do. The ribbon smoothness, with some 57 bite. Might work out.
I hve a new technique I'll be trying too, using an X-amp to reamp D.I.'ed tracks and doing it over and over again but swapping out heads for each pass. Many different flavors all rolled into one take basically. It'll work. Or it wont. I guess I'll see. Its costing me a small fortune to find out though.
