compared to other options (Blue, Neumann, etc)? So far I haven't found
anything less than $2k that has a comparable smooth, clear top end to the
Blues and Lawsons of the market (except for a Blue Mouse at $1300).

l ShinyBox logo, and the XLR is mounted on
the rear instead of the attached cable. Best yet, he
sells them for $165, including the bad and a nice,
vertical metal case, too. He also has a modded model
with a Cinemag output tranny, and is working on some
ribbons mods. I spoke with him on the phones and he
seems really cool, too.
Anyway, better packaging and a better price :)I'll bet some of you have probably done this already, but I'm been curious
for years about the *real deal* with native DAWs at 96kHz vs Paris at
44.1kHz. I've heard 96kHz recordings done in both Nuendo and ProTools HD but
I've just never been able to get them into some sort of A/B situation in my
own studio. I've got Mytek 96kHz A/D converter here and I've spent part of
the day getting this happening in a situation where I can actually track to
SX and achieve a hi rez D/A conversion so I can use my headphone monitoring
system in a real life tracking scenario. I've also purchased an RME
Multiface and PCI card which will be integrated into the dual DAW situation
I've got going here and will also provide me the capability of doing limited
(10 tracks simultaneously) tracking sessions at 96kHz - gotta' be able to
advertize this. I'm one of two studios that can't do hi rez and I feel like
I need the capability, if for no other reason than to just say that I can.
I've also got DVD authoring capabilities in Wavelab 5.0. I'm real curious to
know if it's really *that much better* than Paris at 44.1, both in a
scenario where I am tracking 96kHz and then doing a SRC to 44.1and comparing
this to Paris and also just comparing a small mix of a number of acoustic
instruments at 96kHz in SX vs the same bunch of instruments in Paris at
44.1.
The Multiface should be here mid week and I'm sure I'll have to do a bit of
IRQ chasing to get my DAW happy with this and the existing pair of HDSP
9652's.
I'll keep the group posted about this and if someone else has done/is doing
this already, I'd be really interested in hearing your impressions of the
comparisons.
Rick, Dedric, Dave, Gene.........you guys tried this yet?
DeejI talked to Mr Shiny Box a couple of weeks ago about these. I may get a
couple of his hotrodded cinemag models. I've been real happy with the NADY
on fiddle and I've played around with it a bit on electric guitar and liked
what I heard. I'll bet the Cinemags rock. I also talked to him about
building me a couple of those cool brass tube mic shells for my pair of
Mojave's. That guy is quite a talented fellow.

> Anyway, better packaging and a better price :)The original Rode Classic is one of my favorite mics, hands down. It's got
that 3D thing going on in spades. I also like my NTV and my NT5's. Glad to
hear that they've finally come out with some variety in the capsules. I'll
have to look into this.
