Dammit, Jim, Shut Up!
OK, here is the info Larry Villella of ADK sent to me:
The Type III was a pure U-67 sonic imitation.
Everyone in Nashville Loved it. No one in LA or NY liked it at all!
So we came out with a simultaneous version - the IV. Much more "Austrian" sounding. All the Guys in LA went nuts for it.
Great Rock-Oriented Mic. But: the guys in Nashville hated it!
So the Version V was the first "blended" curve that we ever did,
and for the past two years has been a runaway best seller.
LA and NY and Nashville all seem to be happy with this mic.
So--Gidge--it sounds like the version V might be the one to go for--although I like this version III--must be the Nashville in me!

I won't read any other posts 'till I get this down so I'm not influenced.
The first one sounds veiled.....it's...ummm........ok I guess but it sounds like there's a film or veil over the sound....didn't care for it. ( Hope it's not the V93
)
The second one sounds brighter and a lot better BUT.....it sounds like there is a low-mid hump in the response....maybe around 500hz and it's fairly pronounced to me so that it mushes up the sound.
The third one is much better and I pretty much like it.....it has good detail and body although there is a slight nasal quality to it....very slight but there.
The fourth one is the one I like best.....good intimate sound......captures the details and, to me, has a very natural sound.
I could go for 3 or 4 although in this test I slightly preferred 4.
To really tell I'll have to burn this to a CD and listen on my reference system. I'll do that this weekend if you'd like. Now to go see what everyone else thinks.
