Hello list!
   
  I'm back after a few years absence ... great to be here again!  
I've been playing for many years and am curious about the Audix 
Fireball ... How do y'all like it?  Is it worth the $200.00 asking 
price?  Does it work with the aforementioned in-line, low-impedance 
volume-controls?  How does it sound with a high-impedance adapter for 
a 1/4 inch jack into a tube amp?  Thanks in advance and happy harping!

Hey Doc, hopefully you'll hear from more folks on the fireball.  
Also, if you search the archives a bit, there was a fair amount of 
discussion when it first came out.  It's a clean mike, some folks 
like it for chrome.  I see no reason why the recently discussed in- 
line lo-z volume control wouldn't work (it uses the standard xlr lo-z 
cable).  As far as through an amp with a z transformer, I don't 
recall a lot of positive reviews.  I think it is very good as far as 
no feedback is concerned.  I've got one, but don't use it very 
often.  Actually, I used it recently on a stand for playing native 
american style flute at a gallery gig into a small PA -- I really 
liked it for that -- better than a 57 or 58 for that (and small).  
This stuff is so subjective.  If you can try one out without 
purchasing that would be ideal!  YMMV.  --john k.
