Got me thinking...
what if mics were cars?

Neumann = Mercedes
AKG = BMW
ELAM 251 = Rolls Royce
SM 57 = Volkwagen (68 bug)
Audio Technica = Subaru
or maybe Shure = Ford
EV = Chevrolet

Well, right off the bat you've gotta know that the federally mandated airbags would really kill the high end.

Berhinger = tricycle

i.e, everyone owned one at some point, but you grow out of them pretty quick.

NO NO NO. A '68 VW is cool and the envy of hipsters in the know.

A 57 is at best a chevette or escort (on a good day).

Wait, Chevettes are cool, too. Then again, I think 57's are cool as well.

I think you're starting to fit into the Ithica 'scene' if you know what I mean. It's clouding you're judgement.
