indiehouse yes, I lean toward the sound of the Bock myself. I also have a good friend who owns and loves the Bock. Unfortunately he moved to Hawaii and never had a chance to check it out. Hey aremos, I've spoken with Marc, and he's a nice guy, but I find the female vocalists they find for their shootouts tend to outshine the men. Jeanne Jolly's shoot out was outstanding..... and her voice....., but I digress.

Mine is currently at the doctor. Dr. Shannon. What is being done? What did you feel could be improved by sending the Upton to mic rehab...

I remember the U47 I tried in my shootout last summer was perfection indeed, and yet, I sounded better on a U67, even though I could point out some theoretical "flaws".
So, what about the M 251 are you trying to change?

In the process of sourcing a part.

In the process of sourcing a part. Holy hell! WTF was that all about? Touching a perfectly working, perfect sounding U47? Please tell me there's some reasoning here I'm not aware of. Otherwise, there should be criminal penalties involved, like messing with a landmark.

Has anyone here ever put the Blue Bottle with the B0 capsule up against a Bock, Upton, or even a Tele 251? I'm curious how it's stands up.

I'm curious how it's stands up. the 251 tele, boch, upton will prevail with that type of sound the Blue and the Red bottle ( basically same ) sounded ok but if your looking for that classic sound not the same though it sounded big.

Thanks Shannon. I've been curious about the Bottle for a long time.

Gotta hand it to the Seller. My hair was dry out of the shower, but now I look like the Fonz, after reading that.

So being the gear hoy d that I am, had to look at his listings. A pair of some of one of my favorite SDC’s the Sony C535p’s NOS granted but $2100! I sold the last 6 new ones and 4 C536 side address c536’s $250ea! Of the 5 C535’s sitting in a case right here, I think the highest I paid was $200.

why does the uptown need all these mods? Weird.most guys who’ve bought em get em “tweaked” $$ I would never think to tweak the Bock right out of the box.

Think it’s more the buyer than the mic, the Upton is the latest craze for those who either buy based on buzz or buy thinking this will be the one mic to end all for them. Either group see’s the tweak as an easy route to perfection. That said my next Tube LDC investment will probably end up in Shannon’s hands just because I know what I want and it’s a simple route to get there.

You'd also pay $6000 for the Bock and $9000 for the Telefunken. I think you could get the Upton for around $3999...so then a $500ish capsule upgrade and you're still waaaaay under the other two. For my tastes, the Upton capsule was a little toppy. But I also had one of the first 10 caps...so, they could have changed since then. I know a lot of people love their stock version.
