His exact reply was:
"The price that you'd pay for a pair of Shure R-183 capsules and C-122
cables approaches what a set of Core Sound Binaural microphones would
cost, and the CSBs have a much flatter and wider frequency response
and much, much wider dynamic range. The Shures have a 5 dB peak at
around 10 KHz and that will be clearly audible. The CSBs also are
considerably smaller and more rugged than the Shures. The only
specification that the R-183 betters the CSBs is self noise."
Also, you mention matching them. What's the odds of me buying two
"wildly" different WL183s if ordering them from, say, B&H in NY?
