    The Ranger SRA-198 is a good sounding Mic. It's well built too. I can't imagine why it wouldn't sound good on the General.

    believe it or not, Sparkys Forum is still up and running! You just need to remember your sign in name and password...Me and a couple other guys check in every 6 or 7 months just to see if we still can.

    There was different rumours on what happened to Sparky...One was his health had gotten real bad, and he closed up shop, and people who had orders placed lost their money, and guys who had stuff in for repair never got any of it back...

    Also heard where he passed away....Also around this same time there was a seller on ebay called "redvelvetshoes" who was supposedly selling off Sparky's remaining inventory...
