jslator, it's clear you have an opinion on the topic. It's one to which you're entitled to. I respect your obvious passion on the topic, and feel strongly that diverse opinions are necessary in these boards. I also think that you've made your point.
That being said, I'm in agreement with ZPphreak, and would like to steer this thread back on track. I hope that, if this thread does continue, that it can continue in it's original intent, which was to prod Alan and Brent for as much info on these two new mics, because they seem cool.
And DJL, I certainly hope that you returned those shockmounts if you got overcharged by 250%!!!!!
