Ah, well then let's take a closer look. We all pretty much know that the U
87 and TLM 103 don't sound alike for amny reasons. So the thought that one
"is based on the other" becomes more relative, low order explanation than an
accurate technical description.

In that context, sure the TLM 103 is based on the U 87. This statement could
be made about any Neumann LD condenser that followed the U 87

Ty, they say the TLM103's _capsule_ is based on the
U87's _capsule_. That's a bit different than saying the whole mic is based on
the U87, at least to me it is.

A very big difference, and one that frequently gets lost in the typical back
and forth. That'd mean the TLM 127 should sound a lot like the U 87 then, right?
