| Hi Gabriel, Sorry for this late reply; just bumped into your tracks here. Thanks for posting and sharing! Without looking at the solutions; I preferred o_comf and n_. These turn out to be both Manley samples. The Oktava a_ sounded more thin, uninteresting (yet not to bad highs) The n_comf (Soundelux) seemed overhyped to me in this case. o_comf (1st take, Manley) is the winner for me. All the best, -Emanuel |

the n_conf sounds overhyped, but that is desireable for my taste the n_ sounds less hyped = more natural and transparent the o_ here sounds similar to n_conf but less harmonics "-hyped" | |

 | You have recorded 2 takes from different distances, right? Manley was used both in the far and close mic recording whereas Oktava and Soundelux were used each in one take, right? My guessing is: a - manley gold n_comf - manley gold n - soundelux o_comf - oktava BTW there were no such model as 312, 319 perhaps? (I own unmodded one). eh, umm poor guessing as I see now... |

| It's interesting to me that the most naturally transparent, the Manley got the lowest marks. I voted for the Manley second take which sounded a bit closer than take one. Even the Oktava got votes which was harsh and thin. The Soundelux was a lot closer but still harsher and hyped, perhaps pleasantly in the midrange, but I have a low tolerance for distorted highs.
