Well I can see how the BLUE Bottle would win.. it's an excellent tube microphone in the $4k price range... but thanks for your input. The U195 is a good mic, but it's not for everyone, as your test shows. Just thought I would ask, do you own the BLUE? And whether or not you own it, have you gotten a chance to audition any of the other capsules? (Don't mean to hijack this thread; although I think I just did)...
Again thanks for the input on the U195.
