thanks

I will never, ever sing. But, as an all around mic I am looking at an AKG4000b to start. This would be the SECOND piece of equipment I own.

IS it an alright mic? Or a fancy radio shack toy?

How about the AKG SoilidTube? Anyone pluses or minuses on that?

Some people have said that the GrooveTubes (Alesis) AM62 was good, but I've read people actually caome out in reviews and call it a noisy beast that's WAY more Alesis than GT. (And we all know how often reviewers really let a product get it that hard. MAkes me believe it.)

Just wondering if anyone has use an AKG c422 mic. Is it worth it? Or, is it better to get 2- 414's?
I would use it for grand piano, drum overheads or live to 2 track.

Hey folks,
Just found a good deal on these mics on ebay and thought I would share the information. The guy has 6 to sell and is selling them new for $130 plus shipping (around $9). Sounds like a too good to be true deal (hope it's legit). I just ordered one and thought that you guys might be interested.

Google has finally let me down.

There seems to be an information gap as regards the AKG C412 microphone.

I have a line on one in Texas, but the guy is selling gear for a friend's widow and doesn't know the mike any better than I do. Also, we both want the price to be fair, as the lady is in need.

Does anyone know this huge old reverb? Is

Okay, I need other people's opinions on this...Does anyone else here own an AKG 414C BULS and think the sound from it is either harsh or too brittle in the upper registers of the frequency spectrum? I've heard from about four people that it's hard on the ears.

Anyone tried the tranformerless AKG? How does it compare to the ULS?

Which should I get: The old C451 + CK1 or the new AKG C451B ? I am aware that the new model has a fixed capsule and is supposed to have improved specs (noise, max SPL). How do they compare sound-wise ?

Thx for any input,

Matthias
