trying to get some opinions...
i like my vocals to be real crisp and bright, but some say the warm mod is better for the oktavas..
it's a good chunk of change, so i want to get it right.
thanks!

Running my MC012s for the first time with a pmod this weekend at Seattle's Bumbershoot festival (LOS, Nickel Creek, DTB, NMAS, KDTU). I'll let you know how they turn out.
Ok, because of user stupidity, I blew the DTB tape, but did get 4 good songs from the set.
Didn't get NMAS because they weren't letting anyone set up.
Missed LOS and Nickel Creek because the venue staff were a bunch of jackasses and I didn't feel like waiting around for an ok to tape 15 seconds before the first song (which is what happened).
Went for the smaller shows and got some decent tapes:
-Derek Trucks Band (incomplete)
-Kathleen Edwards
-Reggie Watts (lead singer for Maktub)
-Willy Porter
-Gordon Downie (lead singer for the Tragically Hip)
All-in-all they came out pretty good. Tried a couple different configurations and locations. A few spots of light wind noise on all of tapes (outdoor festival), but nothing too bad. Not much I could do - I was using two sets of windscreens and still got some noise.
The verdict: I do like the pmod sound with the Oktavas.
