Could you describe exactly how you use Hogs Hair? How you place it, how
thick a layer, etc.
BTW, Hogs Hair is a brand name for a filter material that's sold
regionally in southern California, it's not specific to that name. There
are many other names for this filter material and it's widely available.
There is a DPA Windpac on ebay right now, the first one in nearly a
year. It went through one round of bidding where the bids went above
$400 but did not meet reserve, more than I paid for my Rycote and
Sennheiser systems on ebay. It's been put back up today with a little
lower buy it now, of course the reserve is hidden, but I'd expect it's
above $400. A awfully expensive system for what's there. But then so are
the Rycote and Sennheiser systems.
