All those clothes can swallow up a lot of the sound and make things sound lifeless.
I wonder if the MXL is defective...I bought it from Guitar Center along with a MXL 991 for $49. The original price was $70, but I always lowball them at Guitar Center, and I was surprised that my price was accepted. I suppose I will get in touch with MXL to see if I can get a replacement.

Thanks for your comments.
