Anyway, I am ready to move on to a Focusrite Scarlette pre-amp platform, and with the Australian Amazon just launching today, I may soon get a new pair of microphones (Rode M5 or Audio Technica 2020).

I wonder how your SS (I presume stands for short scale) Pono D compares with the usual long scale specimens...

I've had better recording results using a large condenser off to the left (and down- below the height of the headstock, inline with the fretboard) and a small condenser at about 45 degrees off the lower bout.
