who else likes sdc's for recorded vocals?

[osus]

hey-yo,

i was just listening back and forth between recordings i've done over the years (both of them) of vocals on various mics and found that i seem to be happier with the way my voice sounds through my trusty (and cheap) ev pl77b battery-powered sdc than it does through the three ldc's i've recorded through (an AT i don't remember the model of, an AKG solidtube and a shure ksm44).

i realize there's a million reasons why this is hardly a stable argument to stray from the proven advantages of an ldc for vocals (most notably that i haven't tried very many, i've never worked with a genius sound engineer, i'm used to the way i sound through the ev because i own it, my voice is my voice, my ears are my ears, etc. etc.)

i also realize and firmly agree with the common-sense maxim about cakes.

but anyways, the point of my post is:

is there anyone else out there who finds an sdc is sometimes the right choice for recording vocals in a studio situation? and if so, what situations?

[bubbagump]

Yes... the right situation is always the same situation... when it sounds the best on the voice at hand compared to the other mics available.

[jkokura]

I can't think of a time I've done that...you've made me want to try it though!

I like the sound of of one of my josephson c42's for some vocals, but slightly off axis.
