I like I, F, G, and H last. I and F both have better balance (more low end) and both sound good to me. G and H both seem a bit thin with a clear loss of detail in H. F is just a little harder than I in the upper-mids so I give I the nod. Other than H, it’s surprising how close to each other (and good!) they all sound.

I know nothing about any of these mics so I’d appreciate knowing the rough retail prices of each along with the key. Thanks!

I like F the best for the detailed high end and neutrality color wise, but the bass is a bit loose, and I then like I for a tighter bass, more compressed colored sound (shure141 I think) and more even frequency response. If there was less color in my chain, I would go for I as it sounds the most ready, while if I wanted to add color with a nice tube pre etc, I would go for F. These are the only 2 I really like.

and I would love to get the answers piscaerm@yahoo.com

Thanks!

I liked G the best, most musical and most dynamically correct to my ears. H had too much string and fret sounds, but I liked the over all sound. F sounded ok, a bit like G. I didn’t like I, too nasal and constipated. Knowing my cheap taste I guess I is Schoeps. It’s great with blind tests, you really have to listen hard to form an opinion. Please mail me the answers.

Personally, “I” sounded the most pleasing to me. Can’t identify which mic is which; totally lacking experience in that area. The clips are very much appreciated Fran. Your method of comparison is solid.
