Gar, do you think you could've picked out the Sennheiser using the Wolf's 'blind test'?
I really believe Heikki's blind test method was the most unbiased possible way for us to evaluate fairly. Though compressed audio (MP3) demos, they were nonetheless all recorded at the SAME MP3 compression level, so everything was EQUAL across the board.

Even if I had all 6 microphones in the room together to demo live myself, my evaluation would have been swayed by my own brand/model perceptions/misperceptions, because the it's usually clearly marked on the mic itself. In addition, the design (look & feel) of the mic can color our perception as well. Based only on what I personally perceived to be the best sounding, I've now decided it time to finally upgrade from my current dynamic mic (EV767) to the Sennheiser E945 too. Many thanks to Heikki 'theWolf' for taking the time to prepare the demos, and having us take part in this most revealing mic comparison demo test. - Scott
