Hi Andy (and anyone else).

I know a very experienced producer/engineer who swears by the AT4033 - in
fact he went to New York to produce some tracks and insisted on getting one
in for vocals, when they already had all manner of expensive models in the
studio. So it was on my list of possibles. Ditto the NT1 (thanks for the
offlist email, John Matthews) which I have used on vocals a lot before. With
either of these build quality and reliability are not an issue. But there
are so many new models out there, and reviews in magazines take a while to
appear, so I thought it would be worthwhile asking people on this list. The
prices of these Superlux and Red5 Audio models are well (40%?) down on the
Rode and Audio Technica, so they have to be of interest!

And...

typing it into the browser)

That's because of my typo of 'htp://www.red5audio.com' when it should have
been http://www.red5audio.com. A little t makes all the difference...


Compliments of the season to you one and all!
