And Remember, before you accuse someone in good standing. Publish a picture of the mic here. I am 100% positive one of us will know exactly who made it, and where it was made.
I certainly never meant to besmirch anyone, furthermore I do sincerly apologize to anyone and everyone who misunderstood my intentions in this thread-- I never meant to insult, condem, blame, or otherwise offend Len or anyone else, I merely posted here seeking the assistence of the best tapers forum around. I know that you guys know everything that there is to know about recording and as such I figured I would post and try to figure out exactly what was going on. Chris I've corrosponded only fleetingly with you in the past, and I am very flattered by your offer to look at my mics free of charge. Please PM me your address and instructions on how to get the mic's back to me (should I include cash? should I send a b&p style package? should I PayPal some cash?) and I will send the mic's out ASAP. Your presence on the forums is a true asset, and your friendliness is extremely helpful and inviting; if I had any tickets, I would +t.
Thanks again to everyone for your continued interest in resolving this atrociously confusing and upsetting ordeal, I will more than likely end up purchasing a new set of better mics all together, so please stay tuned to recommend some $200-$300 mics which are similar in directionality to the ones who's pictures I will soon post.
Many thanks,
-Brian
