Funny, the U87 is completely off axis almost the entire time and yet sounds as good as the Soyuz on-axis.

I'm wondering if a 15% discount on the SU-017 would be enough to pull the trigger? Front End Audio has a discount code going on right now. It'd be a $2975 cardiod only mic.

Ouch... $150 demo + shipping No doubt. I love VK for their no restocking fee return policy. I'm just wondering if the Soyuz is going to be that much better than my ADK Z-mod 67 to deal with the hassle.

If you do end up biting the bullet I'd love to hear your impression of how those two stack up.

Well, here's a better shootout. Try shuttling back and forth between the Soyuz 0-17 and the vintage Neumann U87. This is a pretty good example of how similar they are, and the differences too. The guy's voice doesn't really do much for showing the mics at their best, but it's a nicely done video.

Hey there Soyuz users. Just wondering I have a 17fet. Can you any use other screw on Capsules for this mic? Has anyone tried anything else? gallery by BEANAT19, on Flickr

Has anyone tried anything else? gallery by BEANAT19, on Flickr I believe it may be possible to get a different capsule from Soyuz, but not certain the current status. There was talk of an omni capsule at one point I believe. As to whether a different company’s capsule would fit - absolutely no idea. Sorry to be so little help! I have found Soyuz to be pretty responsive to questions, but if you’re not hearing back, let me know. Their head customer service rep lives about a half hour from me.
