This has nothing to do with our discussion in another thread. It has to do with the phone conversations and email exchanges I’ve had over the years with various people I highly-respect; with all knowing full-well Neumann did it back in the 1950s with great sound-success, but quickly abandoned it for production benefits with the release of a brand new material, PET. I think the attitude has just been: I’ve played with this and that, which is way easier to handle, and that was hard enough or wasn’t a success, so that definitely can’t be done.
