What on earth is a Neumann 421?

Are you talking about the Sennheiser MD421 anniversary model with the
fancy case and table stand?

And just why is paying less than the suggested price important to you?
If you want the mic, get it. If you want a bargain, wait until one
shows up on eBay (though being a "collectable" package, the price may
very well go up) or buy a plain vanilla 421. I doubt that this model
sounds any different.

Why not buy a used 421, then? There are plenty of them out there.
You'll certainly find one for a whole lot less than the cheesy anniversary
edition thing, which is aimed at collectors rather than people that actually
use microphones.

I agree. He would no doubt pay top dollar for a new special edition and
it isn't going to sound any better. Here are a bunch of used ones on eBay.

you gotta be careful with these thing used tho as I'm sure everyone knows - you don't want to buy any from live
sound companys as they tend to get pretty beat up - they ain't 57s or 58s. I've checked out several from local
sound cos and mostly opted out of buying after trying

my 2¢

Why would anyone think a 421 was a collector's item?

Damned if I know. Why would anyone think a 77DX is a collector's item?

That being the case, there's no reason to get the commemerative
version. Just get an ordinary one and find the best price on it.
That's assuming that you want to use it rather than buy it as an
investment.

Apparently Sennheiser, when they put it in a nice wooden case with a
table stand.

It's supposed to be the a real 421, not the current model that's been
on the market the past few years, the 421 version 2.

I'd think that yellow grill would make it a even more attractive target
for drummers.

Speaking of price, I was told that a new 441 now has a list price of
$900. What's it actually sell for?

Because they got sucked in by the Sennheiser marketing department... I mean
after the success of the chrome TLM-170's and the 'black chrome' TLM-103's...
who wouldn't give it a shot with 421's...

That's different than the regular black TLM 103 models?

Inside... nope... same crap. Outside... they were shiney, as only 'black chrome'
can shine. The regular ones are a black 'matte' finish... but as we all know...
chrome won't get you home [but it does cost a boatload]
