Peluso p12 or Lawson ela 251

I am adding another quality tube mike to my collection and was wondering if anyone out there has any experience in comparing these two mikes. I already own a Lawson 47 mp and love it. What I'm looking for is a nice mate for my Lawson that has a different tonality but close to the same quality. I guess the reason for my question is a matter of economics.

Lawson L251 Vacuum Tube Mic

Forums

I just purchased the lawson L251 tube mic to replace my Neumann TL103. I have a ten day trial on this mic. Out of the box, i have to say that i am not reallying hearing a huge difference between the two mics. and i might even say that i am really disappointed. My signal path is the mic directly into an Avalon M5 then into my MOTU 2408.

Lawson L47 MP Microphone Cost

Forums

I've basically decided that this is the next microphone for me. Up until now my best mic is an AKG C3000B so this is a big step for me. My question is: What is a fair price for a new mic and also for a used mic in good shape?

I've looked all over the Internet and can't find a site that sells this mic new. Any recommendations there also would be great.

Thanks,
Tim

Hi again !

Does anyone here have experience with this mic ?

Have anyone ever a/b it with a real u47 (or Neumann's new models m147149)or with the soundelux models?

I've seen some comperisons discussed here, but it was a few years ago and i interested to know about more recent resaults...

Love you all !
