Rubbish. Neumann mics were plentiful.

Correct


But astonishingly expensive which was Arny's point !
Arny (and me) 2 : others
ZERO.


Good mics have always been expensive, just like any tools
of high quality.


Neumann mics are not merely "good mics". In the minds of almost everybody,
but a few who have never tasted the slings and arrows of normal life,
Neumann mics are as a rule excellent mics, or better.

You get an idea about who is speaking when you hear them saying arrogant
things like this. Basically, we're listening to someone who only understands
life at the absolute highest levels, someone who thinks that their routine
bodily functions produce no odor. They've had a very sheltered life and have
spent most of their time being waited on, hand and foot.

Take their advice at your risk, because they have no sense of perspective on
the real world.
