Disappointed most prefer slamming and/or don't seem to have any major
experience or opinions of AA's new CKR12 capsule which is a relatively
major change in manufacturing and materials for condenser mic capsules,
which according to them makes the concept of individually matched pairs
redundant.

AKG has had a history for a few years now of making beautifully-engineered
terrible-sounding microphones. So many times I have asked the engineering
folks why particular microphones sound the way they do, to receive the
politic answer that the sound was part of the design requirements.

What you are seeing now is what happens when you take AKG engineering people
and free them from the AKG marketing people. And it's a beautiful thing.

You'll be able to easily tell if the recording was done
with tape, or digitally recorded. Tape recordings sound
dull, and mushy, compared to digital recordings. It's like
night and day.

I'm sorry. I thought you were actually serious until I read this.

I don't actually think this is funny.

I am serious. Live tape recordings suck compared to
digital, or at least the recordings I have heard!
