>DJ had posted earlier about using the Nady Ribbon mic
and really liking it. I ended up buying some of the
(basically) same mics badged by Shiny Box, and am also
liking them a lot. I have some Royers, and they are
different mics than the SB. Jon, the owner (and by the way,
a great guy to work with) says they are a lot more like
a RCA 44, and I would agree with that. I cut some great
sounding acoustic guitars with them recently, and am very
happy, especially with the price (165$ for the mic, and he
just came out with a new smaller body for 150$), and they come
with a nice bag and case, too...
Check it out: www.shinybox.comHave seen that one before, but it was on a overheated chip that had been
beat to death by a bad fan. Any chance that is what happened with your
situation, bad fan/airflow? If not, that's really quite disappointing.
Hopefully it didn't rip out any pins man. And you're absolutely right that
would have never happened with grease.
