the 61 cap is a card cap right ?  what other caps can/shud i buy.  anyone use these right now ?

Looks like you got scooped...a name I think I've seen on this board.
You should thank him for saving you from buying a single mic  

If you ever see a good eBay deal, post at your own risk!  the vultures are always circling

Oops, sorry about that  We must've been looking for them at the same time.

JBK,

I'd hardly call the 480's applicable for "stealth/low pro situations"  As far as size the 391s are more applicable...

[junkbondking]

thanks lee.  i will keep a lookout for the 391's from now on.  mgleason, don't even worry about it, i am still at least a month away from buying.

[mgleason007]

FYI, the 391's (that is, 390 bodies with ck91 caps) are $325 each at daleproaudio.com.  Those guys were great to me with my shockmount/windscreen/vert bar order.  Can't recommend them enough if you decide to go new.

skip those... the 391's are okay mics but the 480's are in a whole nother league. the 391's are smaller but not that much smaller.

[junkbondking]

small enough to run fob at the fillmore tim ?

[Tim]

they're full bodies mics... you could run them up front at the fillmore if you were careful.

[Kindguy]

mod 460's with active cables....if you can find them.

[nickgregory]

if you are looking for a low profile non active type mic, I would recommend the MG M300s....they are under 4" long and pretty low profile considering they are a "full bodied" mic

[FiKe]

got the 460s got the actives now needs "THE MOD"

[Tim]

good idea Nick!

I really like the sounds of the 300's... I have a friend here in Denver who runs them with a V2->Minime... nice mics!

[nickgregory]

I tell you, the gefell sound (basically a result of the slight HF rise) is great for crappy sounding rooms too....very nice....

I've heard some tapes that were I think the same lineage.....really really nice sound, must admit
