I thought the 1rst one sounded the best, the 2nd was a little lifeless, and the 3rd was pretty empty. So I went with 1. Ribbon, 2. Condenser, 3. Transducer, and what do ya know. Right on! The ribbon sounds so full and warm. Do more of these!
Good work, Tom! I’ll try to do more when my other new mic arrives.
