I'm glad you elaborated on that. I think people are bound to become somewhat
'suspicious' of all of these rave reviews for this mic, even before they
were/are available in stores or web sites yet (I see ebay listings but not
sure if they are 'in stock' there either). Some of the folks who have raved
have had an association with Audix or with the making of this mic in some
way, so they should mention that (Rob did in his last post), and apparently
there have been 'showings' of the mic in group formats such as mentioned
below, so this context should be mentioned as well.

  It should be noted, if it hasn't, that Chris Wienk was one of the main 
people to make this Fireball happen, being he has a lot more knowledge about

how microphones work than most players, myself included; and he spent 
countless hours relaying that info to Audix. Chris Wienk is a chromatic 
player in Los Angeles, I've known him for a couple of years. Thanks for your

work, Chris!
   It should also be noted that the Fireball on the market today is not the 
same as those prototypes you played in L.A., it has undergone some changes 
internally as well as design. I played them both, I think the final version 
is superior to either of those prototypes.
