"This might be the best buy in the music industry, seriously."

Feature:
Strong, I mean to me the main feature is the sound... and that's why I'm scoring it a 9. I'm not rating this "for it's cost" I'm giving it a 9/10 against EVERYTHING on the entire market

Quality:
The quality was perfect, a sturdy case , a rock hard microphone, and it's wonderful.

Value:
10 really isn't high enough

Desirability:
It's nice, the way I have it setup with a nice popfilter and a few other things makes it even more desirable

Sound:
WARM? I don't think that's strong enough, I am sad that I haven't had to use it more, but while using a tube preamp art with this it sounds so perfect

Support:
Never had to use it, so I'd say that speaks for itself

Overall:
Of all the equipment I own and have purchased I'm most pleased with this. I can't stress what a difference a good microphone will make, and you won't be sorry when you hear yourself or anyone else on this mic. I've used it from someone who can sing opera to hiphop vocals and all were definitly sounding great.

"A very sexy microphone"

Feature:
The power supply has a very cool and sexy blue light on it. Wish it came with the SM-2 as standard feature.

Quality:
Superb. Well built. A tank (can use for hand to hand combat). The circuitry is beautifully made.

Value:
A tube mike that sounds this good at this price is great!

Desirability:
Every singer I have put this in front of has wanted to take it home and spend some quality time with it!

Sound:
This is a very warm, better than real, mike. Any track recorded with the NTK will become a jewel in your mix. A wide cardiod pattern so lots of leakage. Get the SM-2 shock mount and a good stand.

Overall:
I would replace it!
