I respect your choice as I said it is down to individual preferences.
I do not want an argument.
The point I was making was that a lot of people have not tried anything other than shure and "blinkered vision" people are hardly qualified to comment on other makes. These folk should be open minded about other makes and models. When it comes to testimony I can show you a whole host of famous folk who do not use shure and say that X Y or Z make is the one they would use. Means nothing.
Re me jumping to conclusions. Your unqualified, unexplained BLANKET statement made me do that.
Re the other mics in the blindfold test. We used EV, Audio technica, and sennheiser. All very good popular brands with similar prices and specs. I suggest you try this test yourself even you might be surprised.
Re who I am is totally irrelevant as I am not the one pushing any particular brand. I was asking who you were and what other mics you have tried to qualify a statement that says I would only use shure.
I have been in the music business for over forty years and have tried many many mics gizmos and sysyems. I am open minded and respect other peoples preferences.
