Sorry SmattyG, you can't buy my c3000b anymore. You had the chance, but no, you didn't grab it while you could! Now I have sold it to someone else with only a small loss. Better deal than I expected considering the reviews this mic gets around here.
And the 4033 is supposed to arrive from Germany Monday. UPS told me so. That's gonna be fun. Haven't excluded the NTK as a future purchase, though. I'll see if I will ever need that "airbrush" on my vocals.
