AT2020 or M-audio Nova

[kod2nd]

Ok guys, im thinking of getting either one of this mikes, looking for a warm sound, which would u recommend?

 

[U'aint]

what is your definition of "warm"?

i have the at2020 and its my only mic.. i find tt female voices sound a lot better on it than male voices. and to be honest, i havent been able to get male vocals sounding what i find 'warm' from it even after eq or sth. so i'd really prefer to use it on female vocals..

i dunno about the Nova. i think it looks good and i heard it only for like 5 seconds once at Sinamex. haha. very impt thing u must do is to go down to the shops and hear it yourself.. both the at2020 and Nova are priced at ard the same right..?

I don;t know whether the NOVA is really Good because..

I had experience with it but then again, i don;t know whether it was because i didn't use a preamp like the bluetube or joemeek those kind of stuff or was it because my m-audio preamp sucks in the first place ( i read m-audio preamp indeed are bad ).

so i can;t exactly narrow down whether its the mic fault or preamp fault.

I've been having this dilemma as well, but from what I've read on the net the AT2020 gives a little too much on the high side, making your sounds a little too bright. For the Nova it's pretty much not very much known or used, so not much on that. 'Decent', mostly.
