Just made a comparison in XY with my old Beyerdynamic MCE86, playing a CD on my main system. No contest, the SE8 is much better.
Another cool mic, the Superlux S502, an ORTF stereo microphone, dirt cheap (€ 109.- new) compared to the Schoeps MSTC 74 (€ 3400) which it was obviously copied from:
The one I got was used and modified with new electronics for much lower noise, for € 65. I compared it with the SE8 in ORTF position, both connected to the Zoom Livetrak L-20. It sounds brighter, but with a little EQ (few dB down at 8 kHz) it was difficult for me to hear a difference. Although it needs more gain noise was subjectively at the same level. Wow.

The "Easter hare" brought a new toy: a Koss ESP/950, my very first electrostatic headphone. Saw it in a window and couldn't resist an audition using my smartphone and the Qudelix 5k. With EQ very nice. Very open sound, ultra lightweight.

Got myself a nice folder for a nice price. QSP Hawk for $52cdn! For hardcore knife guys this is a budget blade, but for me it's pretty damn boutique lol. It's got some seriously smooth action which gives it a great "fidget factor" and since that's roughly 70% of what I need in a knife it's perfect!
(looking at this pic it's really interesting how brown the micarta looks because in person it's very much more greenish. It is brown micarta, and the pic on the website when I ordered it is like my pic here - brown - but when I opened the box I actually thought they'd sent the green by mistake.)

Here are some pictures of my new enclosure for the my GA100 fiber laser. This was designed in sketchup and fabricated from 20mm aluminum extrusions and mdf panels. To support wide material pass-through, the door traverses up/down counterbalanced by gas springs.
A large, 3D-printed duct collects air from the rear of the bed and passes through a 3D-printed filter housing mounted to the rear wall. It egresses the room via 6" ducting.
