Topic: Hyper suggestions?

[easy jim]

I ran some vintage AKG ck3 capsules on Wed. night with c452eb amplifier bodies.  I was really happy with the results, and kind of surprised how much low end warmth they had.  I expected more brightness, and having heard a few recordings made with c460b/ck63 from the same location, I was very pleased.  The ck3 caps seem to me to have a little more mid-high presence vs. the ck63 caps.

I think I still like the ck63s better, but am now anxious to play with the ck3 caps with c460b/a60 vs. c45_ amplifier bodies.  Soon than later I hope to do my own comps when I can score a ck63 pair.

Save a few more bucks and buy some 483's.  There seem to be a few in the YS still I think.   

Best hyper period!

I"ll also chime in for the T.H.E. KA series w/the hyper cap.  very nice.
the Oktava hyper cap is exceptional for the money, IMO. 
the Audix 1290hc also doesn't suck.
