It almost struck me as if you had 2 bottles of a really great wine and drank one in its prime (Tim's), then drank the other one 10 years later (CK12) and you were reminded of everything you loved about the bottle in the first place, but the effect wasn't quite so strong this time around. |

Not a good generalization since it really depends on the wine (cheap stuff excepted as per your argument)- some need ten years before you even start thinking about drinking them, some age and it's just a matter of taste preference to the young/old debate. |

Unfortunately the capsule swap didn't cure the omni problem (which now seems to be switch-related) |

Something at 200HZ.Could be the room.Would be great to hear the mic without any device in between. Only the preamp and the converter signal.Anyway, sounds great.My CK4 pimped mic is a workhorse and used nearly every day. |

Or proximity effect. But this thread cought my attention, because my pair of c414eb has the white ringed capsules with glued-on membranes. They doesn't sound bad, but a bit too ironed out/bland. That's good at times, but not great on most mid rich material. What I like about them is how they interpret bas, it is deep and sounds true (for lack of better words). I wouldn't like to loose that, but at the same time I hear brass ringed capsules are more "alive" and exciting sounding. Would you change the original teflon capsules for CT-12s if you had othervise very nice pair of C414eb? |
