yea, I see the new ones are selling out already- and I'm really anxious to hear reviews vs MSH1's. I'm curious if the 'lower' noise is physical/handling noise, because the dBA self-noise measurements are the same...
I noticed that the MSH-2, (with larger 10mm capsule), has a narrower freq. response than the MSH-1 (from 20Hz- 20KHz for MSH-1 to 40Hz-16KHz for MSH-2)- but the self-noise is the same for both @ 20 dBA. I'm curious to hear Mshilarious' take on suggested applications between the two series....
I think Big_Kenny is pseudo-quoting a famous M*A*S*H episode- where Hawkeye (Alan Alda) is giving dating advice to Radar. He tells Radar to say "aaahhh.. Bach" whenever his hope-to-be girlfriend mentions Bach..
Sorry to say I haven't heard of these preamps...
I think used recording gear is a great idea- and I just bought Kensington's Peluso CEMC6 (should get here Friday!). I do prefer to buy from boards/groups like this one, where it's a smaller pool of individuals you can trust- as opposed to ebay.
Anyone else want to sell me a used CEMC6?
Very little info on this mic- I found a thumbs-up from BigRay in a previous post, but wasn't sure if this was based on hearing/using it in person. Anyone have the skinny (or even rumors) about this mic?

Hey Shawntp- I'm actually going through the same thought/shopping process. My main use would be for recording steel string and classical guitar, with some dabbling in recording piano and flute. I've now narrowed it down to a pair of CEMC6's, or of the Avenson STO-2's. I'll 'probably' spring...
I apologize for my terse description of my 2nd 'concern'- I didn't mean to imply that I had heard anything bad about MOTU hardware on windows machines- it's just I didn't really read/hear much at all about the combination, so it was more of an unknown to me. I really wish I had made the...
I'm trying to get a decent recording system with my Dell Latitude D610- I tried Mackie's Onyx Satellite, but the phantom power caused a very loud hum, so I shipped it back. Then I tried EMU 1616 cardbus, but the card gets so hot within 45 minutes or so that it stops working. So I'm shipping...
I ownded a mackie onyx satellite, and it was great, until I switched on the phantom power- very noticeable hum, even/odd harmonics of 6 KHZ. So I sent it back.... Still not sure what to replace it with (I want to run off of my Dell Latitude D610 laptop)- maybe the MOTU Ultralite?
