After listening to all samples, the Royer is hands-down better microphone with much more usable tracks. All the Cascade sample had this big, bellowing boom that'd have to come out before anything else happened. Seemed also kinda muffly and ...well just not very good. The Royer seemed to be able to pick and choose good qualities of a ribbon, dynamic and condenser. I'm more of a fan of the Royer, not enough to run out and buy one, but it was definitely cool. I have no lust for the Fathead at all.

Didn't love the AEA one, either.
