try a Shaker Mic instead, alot lighter and smaller, easier to cup and 
compress the element ( pass on the crystal element, stick with the dynamic ) plus 
it's brand new, sounds just as good, and is cheaper at around $69.00 you won't 
have to deal with those funky old shure cords either...it really is a cool harp 
mic for tube or solid state gear.
