[Elecraft] SSB Microphone Question

[Hank Kohl K8DD]

I use a Heil ProSet ic - it is for the Icom radios and uses an 
electrotet element
and it works fine for little SSB that I operate - people tell me that I 
sound like
me (unfortunately!).
With the ProSets with HC4 & HC5 elements it sounds OK - could use a bit 
more audio,
I guess, but people still tell me it sounds good as it can with my voice!
