I have the Sony ECM-939T single point stereo mike that was sort of intended
for the WM-D6.  I DO NOT recommend it. It is clean but has no bass, falling
off at 6 db/octave or more from about 200+ hz if I recall.
I bought two Radio Shack 33-1056A condenser mikes of the tie clip variety.
RS does not make any fantastic claims for them, but I have made several
recordings which sound pretty good. One was made at a piano recital where
I clipped one to each shoulder of my wool sport jacket. The effect was
great just sitting in a rear-ish seat. Imagine what would have happened,
though, if I had dozed off during the performance! I think so much of
this combination that I am taking it with me this summer on a trip to
England. the WM-D6 fits neatly into a side pocket of my camera bag and
the bag itself is about as thick as my head is wide. So, an RS mike clipped
each side of the pocket is spaced about optimally for binaural recording.
The bag in between simulates the head. I expect fantastic results.
Well, I hope for them.
