Look I am not 100% sure when I made the transition. I dont promise anything to anyone and not keep my word. I am sorry about that second I think your really trashing me here in public and that kinda sucks.. I would be more then happy to do the upgrade for you. Products change they developed and improve.. I DONT improve my products so I can make more money from customers... I improve them because NOTHING IS PERFECT
^^ Agreed.
My apologies Chris... I didn't mean to personally slam you in public. I think you make good product, and one of the few that make product just for our hobby. My very poor attempt at humor obviously went over poorly. My bad.
I would like to remind the world in general that I do own CA mics with card and omni caps, and an ST-9100, and that I've had good luck with it. I took the experimental stuff to Mountain Jam and have torrented samples. I publicly said in another thread that the best pull of the weekend was when I mixed CA Omnis > 9100 > R4 with my Sennheiser ME-66 > R4. I loaned my CA cards and ST9100 out to a few people so they could try them, and I think a couple of people bought soon after. I think in general I have been a supporter of Church Audio products.
The point of this thread is to "what should this guy do". Some people are saying "what you have should work", other people are saying "buy new mics and pre", and someone else suggesting he buy a new preamp to go with his existing AT mics... at that point in the thread I mentioned my experience, because my experience didn't show this was beneficial to him. I had no idea some were 3.5v and others were 8v, or that this might concern people. I just didn't know. The bottom line is that it won't matter to 98% of us. Chris's products work well together. The AT mics with the reduced sensitivity mod should work with Chris's pre. New pres work fine with ATs. I'm in the 2% category, and most of you are not.
In my mind, this thread is about helping this guy with his concerns, not about boosting or trashing CA products. I apologize to all of you if I was responsbile for derailing it, and suggest we get back on track.
