I've been performing and recording music for over 25 years. I bought the MXL V6 because it's supposed to sound like a tube mic. I compared it with my Rode NT2A, an excellent LDC (not a tube), and I could not tell them apart! I recorded (into a Roland VS2400) male vocal, acoustic guitar, and violin at different distances, and they sound identical to me. (Maybe better preamps would bring out a difference.) The V6 is slightly hotter by maybe 2 or 3 dB. Keep in mind; that the V6 sounds like the Rode is a good thing, but I was hoping for a warmer, tube-like sound. If you can afford it, get the Rode instead; it's built better and has pattern, filter and bass cut switches. Another similar mic is the Audio-Technica AT3035. I'll say this: The V6 is even more beautiful than it looks in the pictures, and I hate to let it go. My quest for the tube sound continues...
