Oh I know, you get touchy whenever I bag on the $0.90 Chinese electret capsules like those found in millions of telephone answering machines and also your Naiant mics (yes, made by you, Jon O'Neil - why not use a real name in all your online posts? Its like that cat Peter Bloch who re-brands mics as "Stellar" and never provides info about who he is. He is in fact a full time employee of Intel Inc. and never shows his real name in public so as not to endanger his day gig, but rather relies on gear pimps like his homey Kidvybes - another alias for a part time, retired salesman, to pimp his "Stellar" brand stuff), Sahimian etc mics then, shift the conversation.
BTW - I'm the first to admit Earthworks mics suffer from poor S/N ratio - David Blackmer was more interested in transient response than S/N when he started that company.
