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.

The *really* valuable Neumanns are the original U47, 49 and 50
some of which were supplied with a Telefunken badge for turnkey
installations.


More audiophool nonsense inverse snobbery.


They still sound wonderful. No-one parts with those.


But not as good as a modern U87i
