No contest in the field for "taping" - MC930

The Josephsons excel in close miking situations, IMO.  Good for miking instruments, etc.  Not so good from distance.

another vote for the beyers.  My favorite mic to date.  I currently do not own a pair, but will again (for the 3rd time).

I have owned both, and prefer the Beyers for concert recording.  When I had both, I did some tests:

You can find both MC930>V3 and C42MP>V3 recordings that I have made here:

As mentioned before, don't discount the value of the C42's in the studio.  They are awesome mics, and have a lot of uses.
