Maybe this is a stupid thought, but...
Has anyone seen a list compiled anywhere of all the popular mics with their common uses and comments from users?

I've seen all these "what mics should I buy" questions, and it occurred to me that it'd be really cool to put together a big text file the organizes mics into price categories, include specs and then -- most importantly -- pro and con comments from actual users.
Looks like that contains the specs, but I don't think I've seen anything really directed at not only "what it is technically" but "what users think."
I was considering posting and asking everyone to email me their mic/pre/AD config along with comments.
Good idea/bad ideas?

this is a pretty weak list though.
we need one for the tapers. like neumann mics are wet and warm and schoeps are bright and oktavas have a muddy low end and shit like that.
we should make a database...link similar sounding mics together...post reviews about sound quality with different preamps...samples of each...it owuld be pretty sweet! i don't have any database experience though, but i bet someone on here does. we just need to get info together for it.

I've been thinking since I posted this, and I believe I'm going to do it. I looked at all these sources, and I think you're right... They list all sorts of technical specs, but what I was thinking of cataloging were opinions.
Hmm... I think I'll throw together some pages. Look for my posting a bit later...
