Thanks for the quick response. Just very confused as I am looking for a pair of LDCs to play with. It gets tricky as the mic is also affected by the preamp used I guess.

On guitar, not so much. Sounds good but there are mikes I like even better. For classical, I don't like a 'warm' sound. To me, 'warm' = 'mushy.' Since classical guitars tend to have a high ratio of transients and wide dynamics, I like SDCs or ribbons. I have used Line Audio CM3 for classical with good results. In general, I've found LDCs to be the 'warmest' mikes of all.

I like warm but non mushy sound. Even on my own sound system, I have Mckintosh MC402 amp (and Sonus Faber speakers) that sounds very warm yet retains the details. That is what I mean by warm. |

I've been getting a hum when using my AT2035. Checked the cables with other mics, so it's definitely the AT.
Any general suggestions for fix? |

If it's a constant hum, that suggests some kind of electrical failure. Now, if, besides cables, have you tested a different condenser mic to rule out noise being introduced by your preamp/interface's phantom power circuitry? Has the mic been exposed to a lot of humidity? There's always the silica packet in a ziploc bag thing to try, though I don't think that usually surfaces as "hum." After that, I'd say at that mic's price point, repairs are probably not worth spending money on. Maybe someone here has an actual technical tip... if you want to open it up and poke around, well, it probably won't hurt, but I'd probably start looking for a replacement. My 2¢.

Overall though I’d agree with Keith and say this is an opportunity for you to get a better mic.
