Sorry, Mike. I was responding to Ray. Yeah, I wish we could both afford some Neumans. That would be nice.

I've heard good things about the MXL tube mics though.

I think all tube mics are somewhat noisy. It's the trade-off for the otherwise incredible sound. I would recommend trying a noise gate for the mic.
