Anyways thank you for posting this, it was very educating, and perhaps also illustrative of my hearing impairment :-) Meeeh, maybe I can tell some difference, but it’s not like it makes that big of a difference that I can justify a $2k mic in any way (not even a $235 mic lol).

I'm a somewhat educated musician, although I'm just getting into home audio recording. I'm obviously going for the cheapest given the results. What % of the population would be able to tell the difference anyways? Should I be worried if I can’t tell the difference to save my life?

Then the 414, but felt a little lifeless (interesting, since I had the same opinion in the studio earlier this week...chose a u67 instead). The remainder sounded hollow & cheap. However, my biggest complaint is the room. There's a resonant frequency in there in the singer's midrange. The cheaper mics expose it well. It just rings through. The Sputnik doesn't give into it, though. Sounds like a very clear representation of the singer's voice & is very very sensitive without picking up the room. Maybe something internal to the mic housings? Time to ditch my AT2020s. The Sputnik was my fav, by far.
