since i spend time in recording studios, mastering, mobile recording….and i work with a great mentor and engineer…i am acutely aware of intentional distortion and downstream effects….great care need be taken in the SS ( if any ) parts of the chain…. Our belief is upper harmonics and IM, TIM are at work mucking things up…..
I will listen to album you guys are citing and see, but its likely not the microphone itself, that overdrive and breakup is not clean, the mic amp likely…..fun…
i was lucky, never had a Vinyl destroyer in family…Dad had Dual w Shure Type II, my first system at 17 was $75 ( gulp Grado Black ), Denon DP-790 W table, Onkyo A-5 Integrated ( Class A to 5 w )…and Infinity Qb…it was completely bad A…

Lucky bastard, I know…

This record sound so very sweet, I cannot wait for my MoFi UD1S to see what else they were able to extract from the tapes.
