Hey Guys, I just got a quote back on a U67 from my Local dealer and was wondering what the going street value is on these babies? I can get it for $2600.00 AU which I think equates to about $1500.00 US. Worth it or should I hunt around a bit more?

i m a big fan of all those vintage mics
i had the chance to record with some of the best and most expensive mics in the world< thank you emi> but would not want to spend the money to buy one of them today because they are rather expensive
i m looking for the best or closest copy/clone of a
u87 < the original>

I'm looking for a U67 or modern equivalent. If I can't find anything new that is comparable then I'll probably just go for the original. I have seen recommendations for the Korby 67M and the Soundelux U99. Neither of these microphones is a faithful representation as they have enhancements or modifications. The U99 reportedly sounds closer to an M269.

I've seen a couple of companies doing remakes of the U47 and have heard people comparing some of the Chinese tube mics to C12's. Is there anyone out there making mics that are supposed to sound like U67's. Also, where can I find a used U67?

Anybody out compared the M269 and U67. From what I understand the tubes a bit brighter and the M269 has a little less distortion. My application would be primarily female vocals with sparse arrangements in a ballad context (brazillian and ambient music). I'm sure they vary from mic but I'd love to hear any user feedback on these. The elam is way out of my ballpark. thanks.

Neumann came out with a re-issue of the U67 in 1991. How does it compare sonically to the original U67?
