The only thing I'm doing is being careful to match levels and putting the mics in the same location. I'm always appalled by people who claim to be comparing mics but don't match levels, don't use the same position, and/or don't even use the same performance.

I'd venture to say that if you take two mics with the same pattern and transducer tech, place them close to each other, and use a 1 khz tone to match levels carefully, you'll find the same similarities I did.

I have to admit that I find mics fascinating, and I've bought way too many of them, but my recordings didn't improve based on the price of those mics. My recordings improved because I did a lot of recording (and treated my room and learned to manage tracking levels properly).
