Haven't heard the 44, but heard it's predecessor (the VM-41).  It's a great sounding mic.  Very clean and crisp.  To fully appreciate it you really need to run it through a nice preamp.

Did ya get them new?  I've actually been looking for a pair of either 41 or 44 for a while now.

Brand new. I'm looking forward to testing them out soon.

Sweet.  +T for the new toys.  How much do these run?  What caps are available?  Don't forget to update your sig line.

Sanjay:

Those are probably the same Ka200 you had, but the cable connector is from the 648a preamp. Thus no mini-xlr.
These are mine and are run into a JkLabs DVC unit.

I guess Matt will review the Milabs thoroughly when he receives the mics next week.

When I unpacked the boxes to take the pictures I got really interested in getting a pair for myself.
Would be interesting stealth modify the living hell out of them.

Get them from Thomas (brn2rn) for 30% less than elsewhere.

According to Thomas, Milab's chief engineer says they rival dpa's.
