My experience of the RI 67 up against a pair of vintage 269s is that you definitely don't need to spend another 4K on the RI to have a great microphone. Wow.
One of the first "nice" mics I rented way back when was a KH modded 87, and it was great. So I get it, but man.
Fun fact, Klaus and I lived in the same tiny beach town when I was a little kid.

For what it’s worth, the mk67 was way closer to the real deal than any 47 clone I’ve ever heard. Still needed some work, but it was really quite nice. I agree, it was close. The MK67 had some low end beef where the U67 didn't. The U67 had some high end sheen where the MK67 lacked. I'll try to post some samples later. I was still more impressed by the M269C than either of them. That mic was special.

Very interesting, thanks. There's a bit of level difference too. How were they placed for this test, relative to each other and your position? Am I recalling you are usually 4' back? I'm usually about 2ft back, which I was in this instance. The M49C was in the middle with the U67 and M269 to the left side next to each other and the MK67 to the right of the M49C. Hey I just received My Max Kircher 67. it doesn’t sound as good as yours! is your a completely dry signal?

Barbershop is a converted church though, so the sound is a bit live. I did have a Silver Telefunken EF86 in it. So it was not the stock tube Max provided. Later down the road I swapped Max’ BV12 transformer for a Neumann BV12, but the Neumann BV12 has been come harder to track down these days. That made the kit very close to the real deal.
