I appreciate your feedback. I do like the switch on the PR35, as you say to help cut the boominess when needed. The fact of the matter is, I haven’t used the mics for much more than voice at this point. At some point I may record some of my piano playing. I may take both mics along to see which one sounds better, knowing that for instruments there is a difference.

Thanks for your comments.

I like Heil mics too.
But I started with the PR35 and just got the PR30.
And I cannot agree with you that they sound alike.
The PR30 seems to have more presence and clarity on both my voice and my fiddle. Both work on my nylon string guitar (which I play with a pick like Willie Nelson), but the PR35 is superior because of the low cut switch which cuts the tendency to boominess.
The PR35 seems like it’s smoother and mellower, maybe too mellow alone- for recording it worked best with a cheap tube mic preamp.
I have found some other reviews on line that show similar differences.
It is true that they have the same capsule, but different mounting methods apparently produce different results.

U-verse is excellent when properly installed and AT&T; says there will be more improvements. I like it very well.

Great for you. Your experience was a rare one.

They had my battery for nearly two months. After promises of new cells were to arrive any day, they told me my battery was irreparable and would issue a refund.

That was two weeks ago. No refund as of yet. After several phone calls, I have yet to get thru or to have my calls returned.

Just google "batteryrefill.com" to witness the sundry users they've taken advantage of.

My refilled battery is working great! I would still recommend refilling the battery, but knowing that there is a chance that it may not work.

From what I understand about Lithium Ion battery cells, which is what most laptop batteries are made of, it is possible that keeping that battery out might prolong its life. I've heard that batteries should be stored at 40-60% of their full charge if you do this.

However, Lithium Ion batteries also start to degrade right after they are manufactured. So I'm not sure that leaving the battery out will help much as far as prolonging the battery.

There are many different opinions on batteries. I would say that even if you get the batteries refilled, I would only expect the battery to last about 2 years.

Just curious, how is your ‘refilled’ battery working now that it’s several months into its new life? I’ve got to replace mine now. Also, my father-in-law read that if you are using your laptop primarily plugged in, you should keep your battery out most of the time. Any truth to that? I’m finding lots of different opinions. Thanks!
