> I work in a theater where my past two bosses have sworn by the B6
microphones, both in size and sound. I have personally had nothing but
misery out of them, having them short out at the connector more times than
not. The only other lav I have had personal experience with on a major
basis is the Shure WL93. They, in comparison, have never given me the
same
troubles. What I am curious about is what alternatives are there that you
may have had good results with that are the quality of a B6 but the
durability of a WL93. Thanks for any help!

Chad, 'tis a most difficult question to answer with accuracy and
authority.
One could note that all mic cable in rough service break sooner or later
and
due to small size the lav cables are more susceptible to damage from use.
The tiny B6 (what I and others refer to as a "grain-o-wheat' mic) is bound
to have more cable breakage then its larger wired cousins.
Next time you are buying, you might consider some of the offerings from
audio-technica, the AT899 for example.
The ULX with WL93 has worked pretty well for me.
