I was wondering what people here think of these cables v. alternatives.

Hi all,

Does anybody here use this?

I'm sort of intrigued by it. I know it's supposed to have a very transparent sound, so I'm wondering how a pair would work as mains, piano or general duties.

I haven't seen it used very often for musical applications, although I've often seen it used for voice-over work -often coupled with a U87.

Hi

I'm just wondering what people here think of these. i haven't tried one, and I'm afraid to buy one on spec given that it might be in a terrible condition.

Are they worthy of the hype? I know some people think they're the ultimate pres. I'm also curious about the later SS versions of the 76 for vocals.

Many thanks

John Stafford

I purchased a tlm193 and am happy with it.
Question:

it works for everything but i'm wondering:
for drumoverheads, would it be good to get a second one?

As it doesn't have -10Db and low cut.
alternatives?

thanks- Mcsim

Hi, I have an AKG C414 and I was considering selling it to buy a Neumann U87. I record Hip Hop and Mostly RnB and I use my Mics with an Avalon 737 sp.
1. would you recommend the U87 for RnB vocals or is there a better mic for this purpose in the same price range.

Hello,
I have Neumann TLM 103 mic and Motu828mkII. I am looking for a preamp for voice and acoustic guitar. My music style is pop, vocal, soft rock. The recorded voice sounds harsh using the preamp inside Motu828mkII and TLM 103. My budget for preamp is

Sebatron Vmp-2000e: preamp only
Avalon 737 sp: w/ compressor and EQ

Could anyone tell me the difference between these please?

Thanks.

 Hi. My husband likes to come to this site so I have signed up to ask a question. There is a Gold Neumann U87 microphone on ebay. It says it is a 70th anniversary mic. What do you guys think? Should I get this for him as a present?
Thanks in advance for comments,
Angel :)

I've done a search and found very little about this mic. Has anyone here used it? I'm rather intrigued by the spheres that can be attached, and the changes these make to the sound in real world conditions. When these are attached, the assembly looks like the innards of the tlm-50. How does the sound compare with the 184 and 183?

Thanks in advance,
John Stafford
