I think the comparison between browsing amateur reviews of microphones
to
fondling male genetalia in the dark is a bit much. What's wrong with
renting
a mic that's well-regarded among anonymous reviews?

That's a great idea. I thought Dreamhire had closed, but apparently they
are
open. The other issue is that mics sound different with different preamps
and
who knows what the actual monitoring or acoustics issues may be....then
can
the listener keep from being distracted by the brighter is better
phenomenon

Gee, thanks mom. I would never have considered that. Is that what makes
for good reviews? Treat the reader like an ill-equipped incompetent
neanderthal?

Well you might have a point. It took me two phone calls to find a place
that rents out AT2020's. I have to walk a whole 9 blocks.
