I have the C1 which has gotten very favorable comparisons to the u87 but 
haven't had a chance to experiment enough with it yet. Just picked up this Nt2A 
and been playing around a lot with that one because has so many different 
settings, padding and three paterns to choose from as well. The c1 appears to 
be built well though and if first tries mean anything, it sounds very warm and 
am very impressed. The price was extremely reasonable but if not mistaken is 
another Chinese mic. still think will work well.

  I heard of a $300 mic, the project studio c1 or c3, that is supposedly just 
like a numan! I think Phil uses or has one, so he might know the exact model... 
I remember reading about it from a link that he or somebody else provided a 
while ago.

  Hi all. I'm thinking of purchasing a good quality vocal microphone for myself 
for studio recording purposes. I hear and read that capasitor or microphones 
are used these days instead of dynamic microphones and that they use phantom 
power. I understand those things but now I must purchase a good one. The shops 
hear don't keep stock of those kind of microphones so it is very difficult to 
get one to test with. I just wondered what some of you guys are using? I know 
you get mikes that are very expensive like the numan u87 and so on but I don't 
have that kind of money haha. I think this can be a gnice discussion.

  Kind regards
