Like the debate between China tubes and Germany tubes...all depends on what you are using it for and what sound you like.

Thanks for the praise, dudes. One of my quests with this forum was to shoot down a lot of the myths. I realize that marketing guys are just doing their job and telling the consumer what they want to hear.

How about we eliminate all these rules about recording too. Who ever said you can't use a radioshack mic to record you background vocals?

This is cool. I would be excited about being limited to using the 57 as stupid as that may sound. In most sessions, I don't have 3 hours to dick around with sounds. I'm expecting to mic it up and go. Sometimes I feel like I have too many possibilities. It would be nice to be forced to work on mic placement and nothing else even if the one mic you are using may not be ideal for every source.
