    I prefer the AT4033. Having owned two since they were released in 1991ish. I also have vintage u67, km86i, AT4060, AT4050, Rode Classic II, Rode TF-5 pair (my new favorite instrument mic....beats Vintage KM86i), Warm U87r2, wa-251, wa-67, and WA47). My all around fav is 4033 (at least the vintage ones, when the components were more discreet). And listening here it is clear that all the 40 series just shine compared to the AT20 series. Inside the AT40 series you'll find top quality polypropylene/polystyrene and Nichicon Muse caps...which may be part of the reason for the shine.

    Thanks for the review.. Compensated review? Having to Assume so since you didn't compare with others brands, but you should inform us. I do think your mics (most of the time) might have sitting too high up, but occasionally it was near straight on though. I once had the AT2035, but traded it off, and kinda missed it on some songs, but I just received a new AT4040 (on sale) and believe its noticeably better than the AT2035, much twice as good as the AT2020.

    Only 1 mic comparison! Looks like somebody got paid some money by Audio Technica. Not trustable.
