i have done business with Len at CS - bought a pair of CSBs in '01 and CSCs in '02. last year my CSCs started only recording in one channel so i talked with Len and sent them in for repair. about 4 MONTHS later i get my mics back with the explanation that nothing was wrong with them. they do record both channels now (which is strange that they come back and are able to do that), but i can't get a peak of over about -25db even with the gain on my DAT on 10 and staning right in front of a stack (not to record, but just to see if i could get a higher level). i have no clue what he did, but i am not about to send them back to him for another look unless he could promise and deliver a quick turnaround - not betting that will happen.
on a side note, i haven't dealt with Church Audio, but am thinking of getting a pre-amp from him when i decide to go back to my stealth setup - mainly doing open taping now.
peace,
ts
