I'm late to this thread but I have an NT-1A, which I gather is a slight step down from the NT-1. I've been very happy with it. It sounds great and true, and I've never had any issues with it. I record casually to a Tascam DP-32SD and have no complaints. But I don't have seriously higher-end mics to compare it to.
Very quiet.
Edit: Here's a site comparing the NT-1A and NT-1, since there's a price difference at least based on Sweetwater. If you scroll down a bit, you'll find over 20 sound files for each, though they're not exactly like-to-like. Good luck!
