It’s much cheaper in total than the Don Classics and even the Soundskulptor. I am actually very skeptic about this. It’s possible that’s it’s more of an inspired by the 1073 (like the GAP73) rather a true and accurate clone.

I will say the new Telefunken U47 delivers its promise. It's a real U47, and sounds incredible. But yes, at $9,000, it's an unusual purchase. I don't know who their target customer is for those. They are Telefunken in name only. They have nothing to do with the original company that built the U47. They are using a lot of the same techniques that DIY builders are using to recreate the microphone. Although I believe their 47 is a lot closer than their 251.

I prefer MJUC. DC8C is too transparent for my tastes not enough character. The saturation on it is not the best so I usually leave it set to minimum.

No cans for the photoshoot anyway. I don't use cans. Can't sing with 'em as I can't hear my voice coming out of my mouth. But then I'm also influenced by a lot of old studio shots... Trying going with one ear in a can. And the other one without. It’s the best of both worlds.

Everything we like about boosted high end is in the sustains....largely we think is "harsh" is in the HF content of the attack. Yeah it’s the attack phase that’s the issue.

Been reading up on these. The 1073 and 1084 are preferable all round for vocals and guitars because of the classic sound. Whilst the 1081 is preferred on drums and percussion because of the better transient response and more open sound.

The CAPI 312 got recommended to me for vocals. All I can say is that it sounds clean and suprisingly hi fidelity but yet also very forward and upfront on vocals. The 312 is a lot cleaner on vocals than the WA12 I was using before. I am not using a Neve box because I want something with punch and that is more mid forward.

So, is the GZ67 similar enough to the WA87 so that you wouldn't need to audition them both? Seems like it'd be a waste of time and resource if they're super close. Both the same price and all. They are voiced pretty different, but they both share a detail and clarity that the Warblers (though great mics) don't quite have. The WA-87 is voiced very similar to the U87 (as is the MKID). So it has more mid push than the GZ67, which is voiced after the m269. GZ67 has more air up top and less of that 2-5k U87 thing. Can you have a look at the metal work on the capsule. That would give us a clue if it is indeed a 3U Audio capsule.

Why do they still bother with Sharc chips?

Well, I for one am disappointed (but not surprised) that the Bryce went with the 412. It's probably a good marketing decision, (although between the 412 and the 87 he may be branching out a bit too quickly) but I and a few others here were hoping for a WA73 - so now I'm back to the drawing board in my hunt for an affordable high-end mic pre to complement and contrast with my D4's. But Warm have never done anything Neve. I always thought their niche was API inspired gear. With all that said I wonder when CAPI will do their 1073 pre.

Dont Forget Rode make there own Capsules - Australian manufacturer. Really? Are they completely Australian? Because some of their products are VERY inexpensive. If so, that's very impressive. Go to their YouTube page there's a video showing how they build their mics. They've automated a lot of the processes which is how they've been able to keep the prices low. They used to rebadge Chinese mics when they first started but have now moved to manufacturing in Australia.

Isn't this a GSSL. It looks like one. I think it's unquestionably a GSSL, without the sidechain or turbo mod. Which you can build for around 350.. Right. I already have a GSSL with mods. So I wont benefit from this.

the very positive SOS review kind of sold me as I had been thinking about it Show me a negative SOS review of something and I might put stock into it. That's not true. SOS has run critical reviews in the past. Such as that new Presonus Studio 192 audio interface which has got flawless reviews from everyone else. SOS were first to touch up on usage issues with it. Their editorial team has on record said if a product is complete shit they won't bother with a review. They generally only review products which they find interesting. So they are not trying to review all the gear that's out there, it's selective, which is why you seem to think they biased. Over the many years probably their only controversial review opinion was the TLM103. It happens to all of us. Which is a great track record. In my experience SOS are no better or worse than Tape Op or Resolution when it comes to being enthusiastic in their reviews about gear. But I think they are generally quite balanced in their writing.

The levels are not matched. The C12 is louder. However I preferred the sound of the Bottle it's nice and thick in the upper mids. The C12 sounded bright and scooped at the same time.

Theres a guy in gs and I cant remember his name but I think its Aaron who turned his aml ez 1073 into a full on neve clone. He went through many revisions never quite being able to make an exact replica until in the end he used mustard caps throughout, carbon resistors, and even the same wire neve used in the 70s and got it about 90% there. Dude knows his 1073s. He did a ton of cap changes before he was satisfied. So as im sure you know it all matters. I thought the EZ1073 was as close as you could get?

My vote goes for the 3U Warbler MKID. It sounds better in the mix.
The GZ47 comes a close second.

GZ47 or GZ251? Anyone have both and can compare them.
