JJlabs 010C?

Ok, now how about JJlabs 010C? Is it any good?
(and am I starting to annoy anyone with these strange mic questions?)
 
I think this mike is Jam's own brand, I'm pretty sure it's your
average low-cost from China (I believe the modelnames
corresponds exactly to one of the China-factories models and
I think "JJ" is the initials of the owners of Jam). If
you haven't already, check out the Swedish VST-Forum for
more info on this microphone. They compare it to ADK GC1
and TSM MT87 if I remember correctly.
Probably a very good microphone for the price they ask.
 
Oh no, what have I gotten myself into? Discussions with no end exist around the web on how these three mic´s are the same or not...
They cant be, the ADK is supposed to have a "vintage sound" and the other two make no such claim.
If I have to choose one by how it looks I think I will go for the TSM. (And it has a shock mount too...)
 
I haven't seen any claims that the cheap ADK should
be any more vintage than any other mike. But you
may be right. I have the TSM and at least mine is
ok, but as you probably know thats says very little about
the one you'll get.

I've tested it mainly on vocals (3 guys & 3 gals). I found it good
to very good on male vocals, but a bit tricky to use on some
female voices. It was possible to get a good sound, but I had
to try things like not singing into the microphone, angle it etc.
Not my first choice there, which is a pity 'cause I bought it to
try on my old lady.

I've also tried it on classical guitar. Alone it was ok but not
exceptional, running in pair with a Neumann KM84 it was
fucking incredible. Pure magic. They complemented each other
very well.

Of course, these opinions are my own. And I am NOT a guru.
 
Thanks, I know about the place (the shipping cost is annoying though)
I will use whatever mic I will end up buying for my own (male) voice, a female voice and akustic guitar...
