I bought most of my microphones 15-20 years ago. I was recording quite a lot of music back then and was working as a freelance and house engineer in a local studio. Today I have a well paid teaching job and managed to keep most of them. There are definitely more than I need and I might get rid of so...

I have a R-101 and it does not see much use recently. It is without a doubt a quality ribbon mic, but it lacks the weight and full low end that I get from an R84 or a 4038.

Then I replaced the volume and tone pots because the old ones did not work properly. I also added a new cap to the tone pot and put on a new pick guard and the tone and volume knobs ...

The album he did with FM steve is his best record to date - at least in my opinion.It is not crap.
