All you guys are making me feel real good about my decision to go to 460s back in '94, and never finding anything I liked better, sticking with them. You guys are also making me feel that my initial impressions of the JW mod were not off base, and it's not just me that did not like the mod sound. I thought I was alone.
Don't get me wrong, I have tried to find reasons to change to something else, get a mod, etc., but I just cannot find a mic that I like the sound of as much as 460s, except other AKG mics. I have to confess I like B&Ks, clinical as they are, match them up with a Sonoxax and they really sing! Still, until DPA get's off their high horse and makes a modular system with hypers, they will still be a one-trick pony to me.
