Rode NT1A , Blue Spark

[Eleanor Fudd]

I have the Rode, and I have bought a couple of other mics recently for the sake of experimenting with mic types and models. What I want to know is if the Spark is worth experimenting with. If it is not noticeably different in style from the Rode, I won't bother. The $$$ at this price point does not matter.
Thanks for any feedback.

Interesting, quite a 'bump at 40-60Hz ( odd', or why, not sure :>). No doubt the filter's a good (..or necessary!) add.
Fairly aggressive lift (+7'ish) up 5-15k.

Compared to the NT1-a could be seen as 'scooped.

So,, could be a very diff flavor!
