Maybe, but caveat emptor. I just tried to return a defective mic, and
ran into their seven-day (!) return policy.

It was, btw, an A-T 3032 that sputtered when I used it outdoors at
night. Three others in the same environment were fine.

I sent it to A-T for warranty repair and bought another in the mean
time. That one was fine on my next night recording, so the defect
rate for me so far is one in five, manageable.

I proved it by having it in the bathroom when I showered, then
running it down to the studio and plugging it in.
Sputter-sputter-sputter.

I bought the replacement from a different dealer.

I second that. B&H often has fine prices, but their restrictive return policies keep me from buying anything from them. Even if something is defective, they're...

This is quite true, it's a bit of a hassle, though I have returned many things to them, but it takes some doing, you have to know how to talk to the guy who...
