OK I admit it I have this addiction, yes I have a problem, I can't help myself. If I see a sub $100 Dynamic I have to buy it! Shure, AKG, Stedman, AT, EV, man I just seam to have this thing for EV ! I have said it before I ll say it again I am going to be what John Mcbride and BlackBird is to the LDC , To the work horse Dynamic! The Worst part is I don't track instruments that much except for some solo String stuff and for that I'm not using dynamics. It started when I was in the Texas, and what passed for a studio, somebody's bedroom or if you were lucky garage or shed. Nobody had enough pres or the drum mixing set up was this generic made in China pre packaged mic kit ( insert name you never heard of no less used untill you saw this thing) where the case was probably the most useable thing. So during my weekly Pilgrame of Pawn I Started picking stuff up 57s, ATM63s Cheap AKG. Now I have over 50 of these things, the goal. Is 6 of each. The worst part is they do almost pay for themselves because of the guys I have met over the years know I have this stuff! The 2 AKG D 1200s and D 1000 spend more time with a guy in Houston who loves them on drums ! Or my EV 308s are out on tour because the sound Co. Would rather sub them than buy a bunch and have them sit on the shelf 99% of the time. Yes I have a problem.

The EV 308 and 408 mics are very underrated.

Does not sounds like a problem to me. You love to collect good invented gear; and if it is gets used it even makes a lot more sense to me. You like the stuff and you make others happy using it. Why not? I would love to know such a person who is collecting gear, and I can use it too.
