[Mark Wein]

To the rest of you guys, I got a KSM27 for the normal price of $299 3 or 4 months ago...the $199 price is a screaming deal for a great sounding microphone....I've been using it for my webcasts as my voice mic but it records acoustic guitars great, too....

http://content.mkt41.net/ra/2009/03/19/32076155/http:__www.americanmusical.com_Images_Newsletter_T empGrafx_weekend-warrior-tech-tip.gif Tube Maintenance Longevity
We all know it’s hard to beat the sound of a pure tube signal, and it is a big part of many classic and modern amp sounds. Owners of a tube powered amp can tell you that they can be fr***** and expensive to replace. With a little tender care however, we can extend the life of the tube, preserving that great amp tone that we cherish, while saving a little coin!

First things first….lets warm up! It is very important to warm your tubes up before you start to play. Tubes are designed to run off of two voltages, a low voltage to heat the filaments and a high voltage to actually perform the amplification. If you hit the tubes with a high voltage right away, you can damage the tubes components and shorten their life. Always have your Standby switch turned on when you power up the amp. After a minute or two your tubes should be warmed up, and you can switch Standby off and you are ready to go.

It would only make sense that if we need to warm up our tubes, then obviously we need to let them cool down. When you are done playing, switch your Standby on first, and after a minute or two, power down. You should still let your amp sit until your tubes are completely cool, as they are most susceptible to damage when hot. Also, you should keep your tubes as cool as possible when operating. Playing a tube amp placed against a wall or in a confined space can limit air flow, causing your tubes to operate at a higher temperature. Using a small fan can really help cool your tubes, extending their life span.

Yeah, I saw that. If I had an extra $200, I'd get it in a heartbeat.

Luckily, I'm pretty well stocked with large diaphram condensors too.

I've got the following ldc's.

AKG C4000B
Audio Technica 2020 (two of them)
CAD Trion 8000 (Large diaphram condensor tube mic)

The AKG is by far the better of the ones I've got, and I'd say it's probably pretty close to the Shure in terms of quality and sound (though I think I paid about $500 for it).

[Mark Wein]

If there were any reason to have a stereo pair of them I'd get a second one at that price but its not really the mic for that sort of thing. I really do dig it. though.

I just realized that I have a full line of Shure and AKG (among other things) available for me to sell through my accessories vendor at the store. Which means I can now start getting mics for cost :o

[Prages]

Can you do me a favor then, and see how much you can get me a shockmount for the AKG C4000B?

It's like $100 retail. :facepalm:

I've been using the CAD's shockmount with the AKG, but it doesn't actually clamp onto the mic...the mic just sits into the shockmount.
