Re: The SM58...I think part of that is because a good vocalist knows how to work the 58. They've been around forever and generally doesn't change. You can really tell because they know just when to pull off with the big dynamics without loosing a lot of signal. But then again, that's the difference between a vocalist and just a 'singer'. Most people eat the mic too much and end up fluttering the diaphragm, which get's it sounding terrible no matter what you do with the eq. On a side note I'm throwing my lot in with the other Sennheiser folks. I love those mics. But I will say that even though I'm not a huge fan of Blue mic on the whole, I was impressed with the Encore-100 and 200. The only thing I didn't like about it was how shiny it was. I would imagine it would look terrible after a year or so and all that chrome finish starts to flake on the windscreen.
