The sun went up when I heard the 67, even on cheaper headphones. Awesome mic, beats them all, especially for Martin's voice. 47 comes second for me. For the rest, yeah they come somewhat close but they lose in direct comparison. Once I heard the 67, they all seemed more muffled and indirect to me. Proves once more, you get what you pay for and you can't beat Neumann's craftsmanship. You can argue about $XX,000 price differences all day long and how that only buys you the final 5%, but at the end of the day, those 5% are what counts.
A friend of mine recently played a bass track for me. He had a great sounding mid-price-range bass that we really liked. That is, until he got out the Sadowsky. Guess what we used.

I kick myself for buying a vintage U87 from a guy in the UK in December. Now they're much cheaper. Maybe I should get a third one??

I love the Ludwig Corey Miller snare, very affordable and great tone for rock. I also have a Supraphonic, way more expensive but well worth it, a classic. And then there's the Acrolite, amazing snare, affordable and in the Black Beauty/Supraphonic sonic family. I also have a 13" DW Edge, half metal, half wood, which sounds great but may be less versatile.
I'm still intrigued by the Gretsch Taylor Hawkins snare, has anybody played that one?

Why does he imitate a guitar then? If your statement was correct, he would have played it on a flute or accordion, not on a clavinet that desperately wants to sound like the guitar that great rock songs don't need.

I will be there and I want to meet as man of you as I can !!!! I don't get out much LOL I'm always working, but I made time for Nashville... woot here I come! I'll be seated in the CE Distribution/Amplified Parts booth but will be there not for work per say but for social time. I have a few people I have already made some cycles for but other then that I'm totally free and I so want to spend some good time shooting the breeze, meeting people, eating and drinking etc.... That sounds like a plan. Hope you guys will enjoy it, I'm too far away, unfortunately.

And? What's the point? Make a D6 sound like a guitar? How funny. I'd rather listen to the originals. When they began to eff up Hendrix, I had to stop watching and go puke. I really don't see any value in this.

This is one of the best SW Minimoogs out there. Highly recommended. Still, I'd love to have a real Moog, the Sub37 is high on my list.

That's right: We offer established artists an innovative new financial product
What about the young guys who would need funding more than established artists? That alone shows what these vultures are after.

Desperate attempt to stay relevant? So, I have to buy another hardware to use software that does exactly the same as all the other software I already own? What's different from the UAD system I've been using for 10 years? Thanks, but no thanks. I'm happy with my 'real' BAE and API hardware and UAD software. This has all the potential to put me off Antelope forever. Leader in the field of audio clocking?? cough cough.

Well, it had to happen sooner or later. Musicians refuse to create new music because it will be stolen anyway and they won't get paid. Roger Daltrey Refuses to Record Since the Internet ‘Stole’ the Music BusinessDon’t expect to hear a new full-length album from Roger Daltrey or the Who anytime soon.
Daltrey scoffed at the idea of releasing new music during a recent interview with Rolling Stone, admitting that although he and his fellow Who survivor Pete Townshend have “talked about” making another album, he no longer sees the point.
“There’s no record industry anymore. Why would I make a record?” Daltrey wondered. “I would have to pay to make a record. There’s no royalties, so I can’t see that ever happening. There’s no record business. How do you get the money to make the records? I don’t know. I’m certainly not going to pay money to give my music away free. I can’t afford to do that. I’ve got other things I could waste the money on.”
Obviously, Daltrey isn’t opposed to giving things away — as evidenced by the fact that he was speaking with Rolling Stone about a benefit concert for his and Townshend’s Teen Cancer America organization — but there’s a difference between charity and stealing, he says. As far as Daltrey’s concerned, the advent of the internet has led to the wholesale theft of the entire music business.
“The way the internet has come about has been the biggest robbery in history, like musicians should work for nothing,” he argued. “You get paid for streaming, my ass. There’s no control. Musicians are getting robbed every day. And now it’s creeping into film and television, everything now. You notice, the internet is a slowly but surely destructive thing in all ways. I don’t think it’s improved people’s lives. It’s just made them do more work and feel like they’re wanted a bit more, but it’s all bollocks.”

Very nice. Personally I'm in love with the one mic setup for guitar and vocals. When you get it right - it sounds awesome. You got it right. Not to dredge up an old battle - but I assume a u87i (non Ai)? I've got a u87Ai that I've never been able to get to work for me for acoustic. I don't want to start any arguments over that. I know what people say. I know what I hear with mine. I hate mine on acoustic guitars. I'm moving mine on out - as I just don't use it. Plus you know - I need to free up funds for other gear (like a RS124!). I have both, the Ai and the old 70s version. Mind you, my Ai received some tlc from Andreas Grosser, but they both sound remarkably close. The old version is a bout 3-5db quieter than the newer one, but sonically, they're close. I used the Ai on acoustics and it sounded great. It was on a less gentle track though.

At 43 seconds, that's a pretty short day. Awesome sounds nonetheless, especially love the bass sound, amazing. I'm still trying to resist the 124 although I don't know how much longer I can...

Unfortunately, $350 million is peanuts for Spotify. It won't stop them or make them change their evil ways (cue the B3 )

Just to clarify, I'm not defending audio snake oil. But there is a difference between $45,000 power cords and high-end cables that serve a purpose, IMHO
