here's another recommendation for the MG card caps
I know that that's not really your plan, so I'll elaborate a little more. before running the Gefell's, I had a pair of km184's. they were good mics, and will probably sounds more similar to MG's than the AKG's. though, in my opinion, the MG's have a deeper and tighter bass, a sweeter mid-range, and a smoother high frequency response. So, I guess I prefer the Gefell's over the km184's in every aspect
For these reasons, the difference in cost between the two sets of mics is justified. But, in all honesty, the km184's are close, and if money is a big concern, you'll probably be happy with them. The Gefell hypers are very nice though, but in general, I run cards the vast majority of time (which is why I only own the cards, although I have run both the m21 and the m27 caps). So I understand why you'd want a pair of cardiod mics. It took me a long time to save up for a new pair of MG's. if I were still running the km184's, I'd probably still be happy. but not as happy as running the Gefells
The 480's will have a very different sound. a lot of people run those mics, because of a lot of people like the way they sound. I much prefer the sound of Gefell's, that's why I run them. Do you like the AKG sound? surely, there are plenty of 480 > minime tapes out there, so you should be able to get a pretty good idea of what those mics can do. Again, I see this as a larger departure from the MG's, but if you like the way it sounds, who cares if tons of other people use them, go for it!
