I've been watching with (originally) sum scepticism on the mic mods but I just watched and listened to the MXL Marco swapped the capsule in, and have started to think a bit. The 47 diaphragm the Chinese are making pops up quite often, and in every case - it seems to get positive comment.

I've been messing around with trying to use Sennheiser 800 mics to record a prepared santur up very close. The cardioid pattern sounds interesting with these mics but the overall sound quality is too hyped up for this application.
