I agree with Mark, the 0-19 (now the 0-17 FET) is top shelf. I've mentioned this before, but a few years back at a nice studio in Brooklyn Soyuz held an event. The studio had a mint condition U87 and U67 among a few other mics. Twenty or twenty five, (I didn't count) audio engineers and musicians UNANIMOUSLY chose the 0-19 BLIND when listening back to a solo acoustic guitar track. They had a Beeznez SDC there, but unfortunately, no KM-84. I would use the 0-19for big acoustic tracks, for songs with a lot of strumming, I'd probably use a Neumann KM-84 or the Soyuz 0-13 FET.
MrHolmes' original question about how good are the clones doesn't have an easy answer. The Warm is a very decent mic, it sounds pretty good, and if you do the mods for it, at under 1 K you have a fine workhorse. The $1,500 Golden Age 47 sounded as close to an original 47 in some shootouts as any I've heard, but of course you need to have one in your hands and use it on a few tracks to really know it. I haven't heard the Stam 47 yet, but if their SA67 is any indication, it's probably even closer than the others. Even the more expensive models like Beezneez don't quite sound right to me.
So, you really need to get to a studio with a few high end vintage mics and sing for a few minutes to see which is truly the best fit for you.
