when JP first started making his mics, they were very affordable price wise which caused a bit of hoopla on the boards and some of the usual suspects had to open their mouths and talk **** about them, one persons water under his bridge was apparently so foul he had to post negative stuff on usenet while at the time had not even HEARD the capsules he was bashing. Responsible, I applaud you. I guess perhaps that has died down a bit or you guys have managed to stay insulated from the **** talk, either way, I dont mean to propagate the slander... For the money, I think you get an exceptional value and further, I think for the money, so far as a working professional is concerned there is a very small populus of the cream of the crop at the top who are gonna notice the difference between that mic and another. Andy Wallace doesnt mix the tracks I record, so Im not too worried about that...
It wouldnt bother me much if neumann mics were made in china if they sounded the same as they do now, which IMO, isnt annything too special. If people would concern themselves with the sound that comes out the speakers and not what made it, we'd be living in a different world.
