I've posted this on RAMPS as well hoping that someone will be able to
fill me in.

I just got an AKG ULS with a ck63 cap... It's got a very crisp and
immediate character. I mean I am REALLY digging it.

Now the bad. Every mic I've ever used (that's worth a damn) has
handling noise. It's usually a "tick-tick" through the headphones...
or a "tink-tink"... or even a "thud-thud" on good mics...

I'm referring to what you hear through the phones as handling noise...
when you tap on it.

Okay now the 480b/ck63... if you tap on it with your fingernail or
EVEN tap the XLR cable... it "pings"... I mean it pinggggggs. Almost
like it was intended to be an instrument intended to make that sound.

Has anyone else experienced this
Thanks
