i tried to find a good comparison on archive.org. I couldn't find one exactly right. But the bass response seemed greater in the TLs. When the word clarity is used, would that be like the snap on a mandolin? I really want to tape some bluegrass stuff.
Also the switchable patterns are influencing me to tdk
my only hang up is, how the crap am i going to carry these monsters?
Would there be any sense in running a 3 mic matrix, with a small dia mic?
Both mics are amazing IMO. I used to run the AKG393s and switched over to the TLs a few months back. Love them (TLs) without a doubt, but I did notice that they aren't as detailed as the 391/3 or 480s. There is the cost advantage with the TLs, as you've heard, but it all comes down to what you prefer soundwise and also what you can afford. I've got some recordings of both the 393 > w mod and TL > w mod if you want to take a ganter(?). PM me and I'll send you some tracks.
On a side note, eventually I will try out the T mod, but I'd like to hear some field tracks before I start rotating some gear around. If anyone has any.... Thanks and good luck.
