neumann > v2 was crystal clear and detailed. nice low end (tight and fast), and that lovely neumann shimmer.
neumann > 148 (and this was with 140s), was a little thick sounding to me. it just didn't compliment the sound of the neumanns. I'm sure it would sound better w/the ak50 caps, or an ak40/20 M-S rig.
140>248 sounds good too. I've got a shit load of stuff on the archive w/that combo. check out some STS9 pulls from 2005 that I made w/this combo if you care to.
