Looking for a fair u67 vs WA67 shoot out?

The difference seems pretty consistent with the other clips I've heard thus far. The 67 is a tiny bit clearer in the mids, low end is a bit tighter, and maybe a hair less "zing" up top.

At least that's what I think I'm hearing. Very possible I would fail a blind shootout. It's like a 5% difference at most, and that's being generous.

Really seems like Warm hit a home run with this one. I'd love to own one.

Surprisingly close.

I think vintage king has one from a month or so ago ?

I'd love to have the 67 sound for 1/10th the price, but.... in these comparisons, the Warm 67 didn't cut it for me.

The Neumann flattered every source it was used on. The Warm did not have the same effect.

I wonder how significant that off-axis difference is when tracking multiple instruments together.

I thought the acoustic guitar sounded really different?

One thing I’ve never really loved my 67 for is acoustic guitar, even in this shootout if I had to choose I’d take the warm haha. On voice though, no comparison, those soft smooth clear mids from the Neumann were easily apparent, the warm did not have the mojo it sounded raspy and cold to me

Oh man, the first video! The Neumann had fairy dust all over it even just handheld and talking. But wonder how I’d do in a blind test haha - I think I could get it! 67 was my bucket list mic for a long time before I got one, it’s a sound that’s etched in my brain.

My experience isn't a one-for-one, but I do have this mic with a Neumann cap and a NOS Amperex tube. I've not sung into a vintage or reissue 67, but this is sounding very good to me and is a great compliment to my REDD. Both mics eq very well.

I think the Warm is great as long as you haven’t used the real thing or a great clone, the flavor is there it just misses a couple of things. For the money? Damn good, but I know if I bought in I would be chasing that last bit and in the end that road-trip would cost as much as the reissue.

Y'know Eric, gonna disagree.. I think they're getting close enough not to be detrimental to the audio capture anymore, it's not a matter of quality but subjective preference and I have on occasion preferred the clones to the originals. When comparing my U67 to some of the older clones from yesterdecade (it's a word now) yeah, I understand the sentiment but it's getting seriously difficult at this stage to blame the equipment.

It's a shame really, what do I blame at this point? I mean pointing fingers at myself seems way too logical.
