Thanks Nick as usual T+.

taking the LSD apart is easy.
a couple of screws and the whole capsule assembly pulls right out.
that leaves you w/the bottom metal part, which you can gaff, spray paint (several coats), have powder coated (as I did eventually).
I tried to take the upper assembly apart too to get the rest of the metal, but only ended up shorting out a capsule in the long run.

stop laughing Mr. Church (who always comments on my dangerous lack of knowledge..in a good way).

Hope that wasn't the one I bought from you.

I had the pleasure of camping with John Peluso at Spring Strawberry this year.
He's my band's guitarist step dad. He brought the P2 along with a pair of
small diapgram tube mics (yes, SD tube!). I tried out the P2 with my korg-mr1000
to record some campground picks. I got pretty good results.

I own an LSD2 and I will agree, the first thing you notice with the P2 is it just OOZES QUALITY
over the LSD2. It solid nickel, heavy, just feels awesome. The included accessories
as Nick pointed out are all top notch.

The included ac powered 48v phantom power supply, according to John, gives the mic more
overhead. It's not needed (I doubt field tapers will try and use it), but the
mic works just fine w/o it as far as I can tell. My mr1000 had no problems powering it.

Sound results are pretty good. I don't have apples to apples comparison with an LSD2,
but I'm sure it's at least as good. If you use the included power supply, I'm sure it's even better.

John and Mary Peluso are really nice folks, it was great camping with them. John is just
crazy nuts about mic tech in general, he LOVES talking about it and will just talk about
it all day. John was nice enough to give his step-son the P2 and tube mics, so I may get a chance
to borrow them sometime in the future.

Looking forward to hearing more reports on this very exciting mic!

I'm dying to hear some comps/samples before I order one.

I dont have the parts to make a comp cable right now, but SmokenJoe and I are going to "swap mics" at some point tomorrow night for Garaj (if possible).
we'll see how that works out.

Sorry, I can't repeat a karma action without waiting 12 hours.

P2->P2
