Which Naiant mic?

everyone goes on about these mics? how good are they?

they're not really mainstream mass produced are they?
 
I've got a pair of MSH-2's (now discontinued). If the new ones are better, they are pretty dang good.
 
so well ;)

I'm gonna give a shot at that Tape Op mic he has linked in his story. The only thing I'm not sure how to do is "shrink wrap" the connections, but I should be fine! Although it will probably end up costing me closer to 30 dollars by the time I get all the parts. I might just use a capsule I got from radioshack a few years back instead too.
 
My mistake... I totally disregard my grammer when I am not in my highschool english class (which I am doing quite well if I may say so my self!)
 
It also looks like these naiant mics can be configured... I guess by opening them up and tinkering around with switches or wires or something? Can someone confirm is this is true, and if so what's the point/do you get better sound out of it?

I don't think I have the technological know-how to mess around with the insides of mics.

Don't use the RS capsule, you'll have wasted the effort for a $2 savings on a much better capsule. Shrink wrap is heatshrink, available many places (including RS), but you shouldn't need it to do the Tape Op mic.

Looking to pick up a pair of Naiant mics to record acoustic pop/rock but not sure which to get. Which would I be better off with:

the X-Q http://www.naiant.com/xqspecification.html
or the X-T http://www.naiant.com/xtspecification.html

Thanks!
mshilarious is the owner of Naiant, so fire away with your questions. ;)
