Are we anti-gay here? I mean, obviously the Australians will be.

And why would any sane person say that?

But the rest of us, with non-criminal ancestries?

Are just bigots?

Is your irony detector broken?

Tubes are a near irrelevance to accurate sound reproduction.

That would be why many if not most of the world's most desired microphones use them, right?

Not the ones that strive for accuracy.

Warm and fuzzy is often more desirable :-)

MrT.

Go tell that to the people on RAP who use these mics every day, MrT.

They'll agree, though they might baulk at "fuzzy".

Not at all. Is yours?

Hence the smiley!
But any good sound engineer sure knows you don't use them to "improve
accuracy".

Exactly!

The Neumann M47, M49 and M50 tube mics are still used by major
classical recording companies. Many of those that were converted to
FET in the 1970s have been converted back again.

But I can't think of one measurement mic that uses tubes.
Have you ever considered accuracy is not always what the sound engineer is
after?

As EFX devices.

Something about fashion over performance.
