>I thought the VLZ pro pres were "OK" if you wen't out the insert. Something
in the rest of the board was making the low end sound bigger and adding what
sounded like an upper mid bump. My belief (I have no proof!) is that this
was being done vis phase tricks to make the board sound "bigger" and "clearer"
in music stores without showing up in their spec sheet. The borad was "flat"
- but it shure didn't sound flat. I imagine a mic with a lot of mids - like
a 57 - would suffer from this more than most mics.

As for the C1. I don't know if I got a bad one or not. On mine, when I
recorded an acoustic guitar, you could hear that the low mids were *much*
boomier that if I used my 4050 or my slightly moded c3000s. I found myself
using multiband compressors and scooping out the mids to try to deal with
the "splash" of low mid that woul pop out constantly.

What really bothers me about this is that most people will hear a bright
high end much more easily than a boomy mid range. So, if you aren't used
to listening for the mids, the mic sounds great - until you comapre it to
a mic with solid mids (or a recording done with one).

I'm glad yours is working out for you, though. It is certainly possible
that mine just sucked. There was a rumour that the first run of mics sounded
better than the later ones.

Cheers!
