I have owned 2x Olivers and sold one of them. Ben has put a few different variants of capsules in this mic. What one did you get woth yours? If its a current Oliver you will find the transformer is no longer a Cinemag trasnformer but now one of Bens own unbranded sources which i felt impacted the sound of the mic. I would definetly try the Copperhead or something equivalent to get another perspective.
I would also add that i think the 2 mics you mentioned also fall into 2 very different price brackets and it would be unfair to compare them against each other.

Was there a fraction more top end on the 44 then the stager. Slightly more clearer as well. The stager was a little more meatier. Differences were minimal and this was a quick 1 x pass listen to test file ONE.wav on each with ear buds. I will have to get back to this as I am extremely interested in the outcome of the other files. You donthave a SR-1a for the same test do you?

Yes big differences between the sr1a and the sr2n . So can we be a little clearer in which stager mics we are talking about. As i get confused . Eg Coil audio loved the stager in the first 10 seconds. Which one and for what purpose/ source. svart you said you liked the stager. Which one and on what source and what are you comparing it to from your experience? I have the sr2n and have been hankering for the big brother model. But i also think if i am going to pay that mich then maybe i should just go all the way and get a rca 44. But are these both in the same territory of sound? Thats is the sr1a and he rca 44.

Imgur and fickr i just started using both today and i think Imgur is more closer to photo bucket style and easier transition.

I have an original M70 on 692 with original power supply and leads and have not had this problem touch wood but I did store Dr Bills info in the back of my mind when I read it first on "the other site".

I sold my WA76 and I have a 1176-kt on the way with possibly an EQP-kt to follow very shortly. I think a 3 year warranty with no wall wart and better knobs and I think the KT might have an advantage. When they arrive I guess I will know soon enough.

Can someone be the first person on the web to pop open there EQP-kt and take some pictures?

Miktek pm5 has the c5 mic and i had that and the km84. Although not exactly the same they are in the same territory of sound c5 is brighter but i was initially surprised how similar territory they were.

Daking Fet II are a smoother version of the 1176. Not as grainy. Love them.

I sort of like my 8 channels of TL Audio PA-1's and PA-2's. Late 1990's English made but easy to get 4 x channels of that for under $1k.

+1 looking forward to this review.
I heard that the sr2 uses the neodymium metal stuff for the magnet and the 1a uses the older Alnico magnet. But because of the less forceful magnetic properties of Alnico over neodymium you need more Alnico which adds to the weight of the mic. But Alnico has a slightly different sound then neodymium .

I did think of Mick but as he does not do the products I was looking at. But yes he has been known to send gear out.
DO you think that the properties of the Magnet in a Ribbon have an effect on there sound? I am only discovering that RCA 44's used Alnico magnets and Cloud uses Neodymium material making the mic lighter. I am just wondering if that could be a big factor in the sound of the mic. OR maybe I am getting too Anal.

Well coming from a much smaller population base then USA i was recently ordered a Cloud 44a ribbon mic. Where we come from you do not have the luxury of having the optionof demoing gear from main stream audio suppliers so you have to rely on your own research and lots of luck whtehr some gear will work for you. So as usual i ordered a piece of gear hay was not currently in the country but was surprised to learn that that actual manufacturer sorts of makes batches to order and does not necessailry have stock on hand of there own gear. this got me thinking of why i dont buy new gear very often as the loss on selling the stuff if you dont like it can be taxing . Anyway i put my $$$ down and 3 x weeks later still waiting for the forementioned product to arrive. i guess i chose the .cloud 44a because of being active it will work more preamps i have andi think the M/V switching mght actually be useful. So i am wkmder if has anyone here actually used this mic at all? I was looking for some feedback on vocals and or acoustic guitar performances. Thanks
