Rubbish. Neumann mics were pentiful.

And VERY expensive which is what Arny said. Even 32 yrs ago I sold my U87 for
£400. They're about £1600 now new IIRC.

So what? We are talking professional users here.

And £400 for a secondhand but fairly pristine mic was a small fortune in 1976.

So, only VERY EXPENSIVE mics from that era were any good. RE-20s weren't cheap
either. You are totally talking out of your rectum.
