So, much to my suprise my local Guitar Center has an Oktava MC 012 (or possibly MK 012) for $60 (it's not on display, but it is there), and I'm assuming that it is the Chinese model. Is the only difference the -10 DB capsale? I've been looking for a pair on ebay, and I've found very different looking mics at outragously different prices...even sound room pictures two different mics on their website.
So I guess the main question is: Do they sound the same? I bought a Shure KSM109...should I return it and get a pair of Oktavas, because I could probably talk GC into selling me two of them for $100. As much as I'd love to experiment, I don't have a kit at my house, so I want to make sure I have the best thing (on a limited budget) for the situation. HELP!
