I'll remember that next time. I was outbid in the last couple of seconds. I figured 30 seconds before the auction closed was good enough for my bid.

I was going to say that along with perhaps an ADK Vienna or AT4050. Maybe a Blue Baby Bottle too.... maybe. IMO of the ones I listed, the AT4050 is probably the least one trick pony-ish. I always sort of hate sheen on vocals though as I find so often I just EQ it out to play nice with cymbals.

Bidding software will do that - it usually will hit somewhere in the last 30 seconds of an auction. Personally I think that's a shitty way to do it, but it does work...
I recently managed to out-bid someone who did just that, hit it with under 30 seconds to go, but I got in & raised my bid in the last 10 seconds. I didn't use software to do it, either.

You mean the original C1? Yes, Alan sent me the whole line to try, and while the C1 was ok, it wasn't as "special" as the T3. I wound up buying a T3.

Mellow? No, just the opposite. It has a high end sheen and sparkle I haven't heard out of any low priced mics before.oh i see ,yea the T-3 is more of a mellow sound

well mellow compared to the C#1 ..Yes i like my T#3 also .
I think the C1 is more open sounding and maybe better for more rock kind of song.Although i have used the T3 for lead vocal and the C1 for background on the same song.They work well together.
Man i think this guy has a C#3 for 199$ on close out ,that not a bad buy ill post the link if someone want to check it out.

Really well thats nice to know.Did you change the tube in yours?What preamp are you running thru.I been running my SP mics thru my AMR peavy vmp-2 tube pre.

...you might want to run your T3 thru a "cleaner" sounding pre to really hear the T3's sonic qualities...the VMP-2, although a great pre for certain applications, is very "coloured" sounding and works best on instrument tracking rather than vocals (IMHO)...I prefer to run my Tube-Condenser mics (like the T3, Rode K2, Mojave MA200) thru more neutral sounding pres when tracking vocals...that way I get more of the particular mic's character...but then again, if you're looking for a very "coloured" sound, whatever works...
...the best tube upgrade for the T3 is a NOS GE 6072 tube...the 5 Star black plates triple-mica or the military issue JG-6072 both work well...
