A gentleman I do some collaborations with has been using one for ages and raves about it, and I found a demo for $100 off of list to test out.
We'll see how it fits in my stable of toys.
Was going to be bagging a 1073 clone soon, but ...if this thing works it'll be the last "basic" item for the mic locker to replace the dirt cheapies I've slowly phased out over the last few years.
Still been using a hand-picked (out of a case of 24 of them) MXL large dia condenser on my HRD fulltime for ages; it hit stupid well above its price point and that particular one sounded the best out of all the ones I tested.
My local shop at the time put up with me testing them all and let me mix and match out of the crate they had ordered.
The pencil condenser that came with the set has always been an extreme backup case - I have good ancient Oktavas for that role when I want it, but the large dia condenser and I always got along.
Was a case of checking off the boxes slowly.
Got the e906 for lazy hang on the cab and "best in class" dynamic mic for when I want that punch, the Oktavas for what makes me happy when nothing else does, and the Golden Age ribbon thing for the room now for half decent stuff (and a Telefunken M81 for a female vocalist I work with occasionally, been very happy there)....I can't say I'm "done" if this works out but I'll certainly have the bases covered.
It sucks being the only person on earth who doesn't love the SM57/58 (but I don't really like Celestion speakers for cabs either, so I'm an odd duck!)....
