I just feel like I should have a tube condenser mic

Hard for me to ship you my U67 to utilize on the same sound source for comparison's sake. But thanks for the offer. I think if I went to my local music/sound equipment dealer that I have been dealing with since 1978, I could borrow one. It really could have THAT SOUND? That would literally send me into space.

I don't think Chuck Levin's (Washington Music) has the M-Audio Sputnik...last time I was there they didn't have any of the m-audio line of mics.... sad.

Can't wait to hear some examples from you.

I don't usually like tube mic into tube pre but, there are exceptions...

I've heard that position before but so far this mic and my UA pre have worked out quite nicely.
Also, the tonal differences between figure 8, cardoid and omni have impressed the pants off of me. Really, I've been wandering around in my boxer shorts for days now.

I'll put together some basic samples by the end of this week and post them.

Get a Shure SM7 or AT 4047 and 'forgetaboutit'

Hmmm...both are excellent mics, but neither are tubed. Thanks for the suggestion though. I already have the Sputnik so my thirst has been quenched for now.
