i just ran MG200's a week or two ago, for the first time, through my wmod ua-5, and the tape is sick, its sopposed to be up on BT here soon.  I'll see what i can do.  For me i think thats the next route i'm going if for Geffels, the MBHO's sound good, but personally i think they are a little mid heavy, and i love the detail of the Geffels.  so thats my next route for mics.  good luck, happy upgrading.

Comin' in a little late on this thread, but personally I would go with the MG's unless you need the active cable option of the MBHO's. I like both the SMS2000 and MG300 mics. Steve (Phatdats) has seeded a ton of nice MG300 tapes from his rig, and I have heard a lot of Phish from 97' on the MG200/210 (Oade 248>SBM1). The hyper caps (210) are a little on the bright side for my tastes (but still sound ok), but I have heard some REALLY good stuff on the cardioid (200) caps, very clean with a nice full and warm low end. Just my 2 cents.

Take care,
Ben

my favorite combo over is

MBHO 603a/KA200s>mp-2>sbm-1

just a killer full rounded warm sound

Agreed !
Bottom to the center of the planet.
Great presence, clear soundstage, clean highs.

Gefells do rock very nice, but my old ears like the MBHOs much better with an acoustic bass (fiddle bass)

Neumanns USED to rule all....now they are just mass produced like so many others.....

The M27 caps (omni) for the SMS2000 series are almost untouchable! Amazing mics....should be named "Micro-Scheops" since they are so friggin expensive. I tried to pick up Doug Oades M27 caps but just couldn't swing the $600 clams he wanted for the pair. OWCH!! I'm in love my M20 & M21 caps!! No upgrades for this cat for some time  ;)

To be honest both the MBHO's and the Gefells are amazing mics indeed as with the Neumanns. I listened HARD to all three before deciding which to purchase. Gefells won my ears....but thats just me. Others may disagree and there is no right or wrong here, just preference!! As long as yur happy with what you pull thats all that really counts right??  ::)

I agree with Sammy and I would vote for the M20 caps...I have made some really really sick tapes with these....they are just incredible...now I just need an active cable option....
