It is very clear that you like omni mikes from B&K and Shoeps and thus you will have a view (agenda?) based on your perferences. You like omnis and their inherant compromises and I like figure-of-eights and their inherent compromises.
I have used B&K (yes, I did try spaced omni techniques, Jecklin method to be exact!) and Shoeps mikes (obviously not all the models) in the past and passed on them, as I did not like the results stemming from the B&K and Shoeps "house sound".
But you have not tried the Pearl ELM 30s, but already are putting forth "theory" and drawing conclutions. This is a bad sign and I refuse to be drawn into another mad dual. Starting with a post that gave infromation, you have now gone onto personal taste, unfounded and unwanted criticism and propaganda! Experience is always better than theory. Try the Pearl mikes first, which by the way are not prone to handlnig noise. And where did I say that the Pearl mikes deliver the exact sound in the concert hall? From the very begining I have maintained that every recording is a personal "view" of the one making the recording, of the reality in a given venue. Neither did I claim perfection for the Pearl mikes, only a perference, like you have for the B&Ks and Shoeps.
So, the phase responce is not perfect with a figure-of-eight mike? How can one who proports spaced omni mike techniques, with which method phase coherance is unobtainable, even talk about phase accuracy?
So you admit that the U47, omni though it may be, is a very colored mike? This is what this whole thing is all about. And if you admit that the U 47 is a poor mike and thus cannot make uncolored and transparent recordings, then you must by extention, accept my contention that the Murcury and RCA recordings are colored.
And no, I do not use Coles mikes even though I admire their sonic virtues and purity. Have you ever tried them? Compared them to your darlings?
I have made over 75 recordings which have consistently been praised for their sonic excellence, in spite of the "flawed" mikes and mike technique that I choose to employ. The proof is always in the eating of the pudding. Should I need your advice, I will ask you. And where are the recordings with the "perfect inner balance and tonal balance" that you have made, so that we poor souls can be enlightened and uplifted? As for degrees, sorry I am not an initiated Mason and thus can not help you. As for physics proving things, I belive that it was indeed this very physics that conclusivly proved that President Kennady was shot by a lone gunman!
Carved on the door of a hermits cell: "Leave the sandals of your evryday persona and preconcived notians at the door. Enter with humility and remain silent. What you need to know is already within. It is the chatter of your mind that prevents you from preciving that you are indeed God". How true!!!
Never try to proselytize the "converted", for they know that THEY are going to heaven!
