  • Very nice captures on the acoustic guitar. I found them to be crisp, clean and warm sounding. Thanks for the tech notes as well.

  • Suprisingly, the Peluso is my least favorite in this recording. It's harsher than the others and less natural sounding to me. The KSM27 seems to have the most bottom-end, but that makes it a bit muddy. I think I like the ADK SL the most here. Just feels right.

  • I thought the ADK A-51S was a bit cleaner than the SL, but they were pretty close. Hard to tell if the difference was down to a small difference in placement. They both had good potential to me.
