I'm missing something here. What are we listening to these mics with? The $39.95 speakers we have plugged into our $29.95 sound cards? I don't see how we can judge them without listening to them under the actual conditions in which they'd be used.

Just a thought.

I never listened to the samples at all.

Me either. If I ever need a mic, I'll borrow one from my son. I just have no current need for one unlike many of you. My point in my original post was and still is "just a thought."

P.S. The only time I needed a good mic was back in the 70s when I used an Astatic D-104 for shooting "skip" on 11 meter SSB. :-)
