Don't have one myself but in the Interviews section Richard Davis mentions he uses a Valve microphone in addition to a SPL mic pre-amp.

The MXL Audio range makers of the (Silicon Valve microphone) can be found here: http://www.mxlmics.com/siliconValve/silicon_index.html

Shure's are a live mic and to be honest not very good for studio use. As i said before u cant go wrong with a Rode microphone

the shure is crap for studio. a friend bought some cheap one which is new and very good. much better then the sure for studio recordings. have to ask him.
