This is the real thing about MKH, it's got the track record. Spending
the chunk of change for one is a bit easier knowing about that track
record. There may be something else that will do it as good, but it's a unknown.
I still have no plans to abuse mine unnecessarily.

This is true of almost any technology now. But recording is so complex
that it's especially true. I figure I need a few lifetimes to even get
started on expert. And I don't believe I'm allowed those :-(
It just snowballs, each thing you learn just shows you a whole bunch
more you don't know. It's probably the easiest when you get that first
recorder and mic and do your very first recording.
On the other hand, part of staying alive is having new challenges to
meet. Otherwise you just vegetate.
