Microphone that is...

I've collected about a dozen microphones in the past few years but seem to always go to one that fits me pretty well. That microphone happens to be the Rode NT1-A. The reason I bought it was because it was sold and marketed as the worlds quietest studio microphone.

By far the quietest microphone in my arsenal for sure. So which is yours? Let me know...because I'm always in the market for another great microphone. Here are some of the interesting specifications on the Rode NT1-A below.
