Hey all. My friend gave me a set of NOS Mullard CV2493's and I put them in
my pair of Rode NTK's. I have done my first tests on ac gtr and my vocals
through an API 312. WOW! Huge difference! Smoother highs and a much more
natural response. Definitely mellowed out the top end. Much less sibilant
on vocals and less annoying pick noise on a freshly strung Martin HD-28.
Also, the low mids felt more robust (not wooly though), but I am not sure if
that feels that way because of the smoother top. I can't wait to hear them
on drums. I was very skeptical, but I am very happy. The mics sound much
warmer and "vintage" in a very good way and now they will be used for more
than just 2nd choice room and vocal mics.

Just my thoughts and I thought you all might be interested.
