Blue Kiwi

Anyone used this mic. Opinions on it for vocals, guitar, etc. Any similarly priced mic that would be preferred?

THANKS.

i need a nice preamp for a blue kiwi.. i'm looking to get the best vocal sound i can. the budget for the preamp is 2000...

i've been thinking about a-designs,Focusrite red8,Sebatron 2000e with vu...

what other pres come to mind?

If so, what did you think? Useful on what? What would you compare them to? I see a lot of talk about the Dragonflys and less expensive mics but nothing about the more expensive ones with the exception of the Bottle.

Are both these designs based around a U67/87? If a U67 was refurbed would there really be that much difference between a U67 and an 87 because of the tube?
