Topic: AT853s vs. DPA 4061s? Big difference?

[Unitmonster]

Thanks a lot guys!  

I tape a pretty wide variety of music (upcoming shows will be David Bowie, Herbie Hancock, and Santana playing with Herbie, John McLaughlin, Wayne Shorter, etc) so I guess I might be better off going with the AT's and a couple different caps (maybe some cards and hypers).

My bud runs the 4060's, and indeed has pulled some sick tapes, but perhaps in ideal conditions (ie. 15th row centre at a jazz show).  NOt so sure aobut the sound quality you'd get at a Bowie show from the same location.

I've got my new JB3 on the way and will be getting the show on the road asap!

Two totally different mics and sounds.  The problem I see with the 406X mics is that they are inconsistent, and that is largely due to the bass and room.  Listen to armen's KIng Crimson, marvelous sound (although the music isn't my pint of beer) and then listen to a metal show with big thumpy bass...

AT853Rx also have the option to use omni caps, if that's what yer looking for.

Is there a BT running for the forementioned King Crimson show? Anyone have a link?

The stars were in alignment for that show, I tell ya... I just stood still.
I could B&P it for you - it's incomplete by about 10 minutes at the beginning due to traffic and setting up in the bathroom. Blows, but whattaya gonna do...
PM me if you want a B&P.
