connecticutenjoyer 1.0Used the 664 on one session recording guitar. It didn't really impress me, but then again, neither do 57s. I like the RE10 and RE15 but obviously those are quite a bit more expensive. If you already have some 57s, it might not hurt to pick up one of the 664s, but I would say it's quite a bit more situational than a 57. Might be cool as a crotch mic or far room, getting crushed by a hardware compressor -- really any application besides close micing something that's going to be forward in the mix. Edit: Just remembered I have a buddy who sometimes tracks BGVs with an EV 666. I don't know what the difference is between the 666 and the 664, but if they're at all similar, maybe that's another potential use case.
