I ended up selling ( wish it could have afforded to keep it) and getting a pair of AEA N 22 Ribbon's , which overall are better suited for me and my style I think

Here is the MK4 (you can see it in the merged close up coming off the mic stand) the camera perspective is funny, it is actually about 16-20 inches away, aimed at the lower part of the bridge.

Pretty hard to compare accurately with different performances , different rooms , different mic's -guitar and vocal - The constants are the recording system it self, the mic pre -A Designs MP2A,- the analog mix Compressor IGS Tubcore 3U, - and the Bricasti M7 reverb.

Fun Videos Kev!...

Your guitar sounded very good with both the Schoeps and the N22's. I think we are our own worst critics. But certainly there was a more natural open sound to the stereo imaging of the N22's.

Soundpure has some videos where they record Acoustic using the MP2a..and it just gives it that extra bit of meat to the recording. I hope to add a good preamp to my mix later next year. (as soon as a bunch of money falls from the sky! Or I finally am able to let go of my prised electrics that I no longer play. )
