Hi Andrew,
very interesting, looks like i borrow the sanken today for nothing,
but if i be honest i come to that the last days, after seeing the
self noise level.
i will make a comparison, just to be sure it wasn=B4t the sanken you
used which was damaged..
i think theres just nothing better than the mkh, like everyone here
says.
i will write my impressions of the sanken later,
all the best
