Fran's web page someone posted earlier talks about the importance of level matching, which wasn't done here. As a result, it sounds like the CO1 is bigger and fuller than the NT1 - it may be, but we don't really know that because the CO1 is louder. (and of course, every thing might change if you moved either mic by an inch)

I actually felt the NT1 was warmer, with something else that made it stand out but the Samson is pretty good also...I might be trading in my AT2020
