One of the things that constantly surprises me is how few audio enthusiasts are aware of how much microphone choice effects the sound of a recording (they're transducers, after all) and how this fact makes the capture and reproduction of live sound a fundamentally tainted event from the minute sound waves hit a mic diaphragm.
Microphone shootouts and comparisons are fairly common in the professional / recording world, but Audio Technica makes listening comparison samples available for their various 40 series microphones on a single page with samples for:
-Female vocals
-Male vocals
-Acoustic guitar
