Yeah, mshilarious is just a street hustling snake oil salesman with this "claimed" tube mic. When I get mine to test I'm going to do a track with the tube in and then another track after I cut out the tube with my wire snips to compare. Dunno though, it's probably made so bad that it won't even work if I take the damn fakey tube out, unless I like know how to solder and stuff. I betcha he's just repackaging all those crap MSH-1As he couldn't unload, but now with a fakey tube attached just to double-sell to the same customers who were suckered into buying the MSH-1A. He said he had a business degree didn't he? You can't trust any marketing weasel with a business degree. I'M CALLING YOU OUT MSHILARIOUS!!!!!

It's worse, I have an accounting degree. Also, the mic will work with the tube cut out, but you'd need to jumper pin 4 to pin 1, remove C4, and replace it with a jumper. You would then have essentially have a 1A with the capsule reconfigured to common drain, minus the extra harmonic distortion of the 4.

You need to fucking settle down. I pesonally have never heard of a tube mic without a power supply and even mshilarious said the tube was somewhat hungry which leads me to believe it's not going to have quite the same characteristics of a tube mic.

I don't think this mic has similar characteristics to any other mic. However, if you don't like the AT3060, you probably won't like this mic either. Its purpose is to generate pleasant-sounding distortion. Most people would say that is not a goal of a tube mic. But I say, hey it works for guitars. This is like a guitar pedal for acoustic instruments.

It's true :( Does anybody need any bonds amortized? Interest rates have gone up, so you'd probably be buying at a discount :o
 
LOLawler! That was hilarious!

You scoffers need to google sub-mini tubes. There really are tiny tubes that run on very little power.

If you wanna talk tube marketing, that thread yesterday about the guy who put the plastic tube on the end of his mic to make it more directional...

That isnt anything new or strange. DPA makes similar devices that interact with the reflections coming off the microphone, attenuating off axis above 1khz and boosting LF info on-axis to give a more directional response. The old m49 and m50 from neumann also employed these reflective devices.
 
Hey, will whoever just gave me neg rep please tell me who you are?

Not that it matters, but I'm curious.

If it helps you narrow it down, it wasn't me. I don't neg rep. I'm all about peace, love, and republicans.
 
I gave you a negative rep in my mind. In fact, in my fantasies, you're nothing but red polka-dot land.

Does that count?

Yup, I negged him on the Mic Board
(wasn't me)
Saw me negging on his last post
(wasn't me)
I even negged on Dragon!
(wasn't me)
He even caught me negging newbies!
(wasn't me)
He saw the marks on his profile
(wasn't me)
Heard the nasty words that I told him
(wasn't me)
Heard the lies getting louder
(wasn't me)
I even negged him on his birthday!

How could I forget about
The ignore trick
He caught me red-handed
Acting like a cowardly d***

Sounds like you need to work a little dancehall into your repertoire ;)

Some people's sense of humor needs recalibrating.

I even brought the topic up already. I'm with chess, I'm not sure tube's really going to make a difference but I'm still probably going to order a pair.

Seriously, the thing that makes tubes sound good is their own brand of harmonic distortion. Transistors don't distort the same way. This will be a sweet mic!
