    i love my modied c12vr - best sound on vocals.

    over rated mics

    well, I think the U87ai is over rated - i had one and sold it.

    i tried the akg 414s, didn't care for them either.

    but of course, the right micpre can make a difference on any mic.

    1176 warm??

    I tried an 1176; warm is not what came to mind.

    it seemed bright and edgey, aggressive. I didn't like it at all.

    a tubetech cl1b is warm; probably an la2a also though i've never heard one.

    upgrade computer

    I think to upgrade my pc to a faster type.
    new motherboard, processor, and larger hard disk.

    or another lexicon like pcm 91 or 81 for mixdowns would be nice.
