Which mics do you run to your UA-5, and do you like them?

I'm curious.  I'm shopping around.  It's almost time for me to buy microphones.

I run ADK A51S LEs into my UA5.  Love 'em.  If you get a set of the ADK TLs in Yard Sale, you'll walk around with a woody for a week, they are that good...

The Studio Project C4s are nice, as are the C3s.

I love the TL -> Wmod UA-5.

Is your UA-5 modded?

Tickets are dead to me.  Except the ones I have, don't have, and lost.  Not to mention the ones you have, don't have, and lost.   And the ones that other dude has, doesn't have, and lost.  Let me know if you need some tickets, I'm happy to oblige.

I run Octava MK012>UA-5....only done it a few times as this is my backup rig.   but I've liked what I've heard enough to know that I wouldn't throw too much of a fit if I were ever "forced out" of laptop recording :)

Mine is a warm mod.  And it's getting lonely without mics.

Okay, so why are the TL's so much more expensive than the C4's?  Are they that much better?  Are there comparisons out there anywhere to listen to?

They are similar mics when it comes to features. Matched pairs of TL's clock in around $795 with shouckmounts, case, screens, unmatched can be had for less. I haven't heard any C4 recordings, but I have many TL recordings if you want to check some out.

You know I will hype the ADK A51 STpros that I use but you know what those sound like also.
On the subject of sound I will post another Charlie Hunter show tonight on bt.etree the sound is better than the last IMO.

These mics have blown away any others in the price range but definately bigger than a set of C4's. Sometimes Size does matter.
