it's just a matter of time...
By the way: Mic & Mod has a new owner now, only the name remained the same.
Looks like their "brand" for transformers and capsules. They even have a RM logo you can buy for your mics. Printed on the transformers.It says in the website that the capsules and transformers are made by “Replica Microphones” do you know what is “Replica Microphones”?
Does anyone know?

The Alibaba supplier must not ship directly to France so they use a German freight forwarder.I just enquired Mic and Mod about the "Replica Microphones" brand of capsules and transformers,
here is the bullshit reply I received.
It seems that even if there's a new owner the dirty business practices continue implemented in the company:
"Indeed you will find very little information on Replica Microphone, they are our exclusive providers based in Germany and they do not communicate, they must just be on social networks. They are indeed the ones who make us the transformers and the capsules, they are assembled by them directly with quality materials, we have never had any negative feedback on these parts.
Paul"
Really? a German capsule and transformer manufacturing company that lives "Exclusively" of doing capsules and transformers for a small business like Mic and Mod.
A capsule and transformer company that we never heard about before? They are "really good and use quality materials" but hide away in a cave in Germany just to do business with the lucky Mic and Mod company!
So full of bullshit.
We never heard of "Replica Microphone" because it simply doesn't exist,
the capsules and transformers are sourced from China, and then they rebrand and advertise it as German Made.
Not at all in this case, replicamic.com is micandmod's brand name and their web page. It's like Thomann is rebranding their t.bone stuff, see Microphones - t-bone. Whoever assembles the RM capsules and transformers just doesn't want to be known.Really strange that a German company register their domain trough a French ISP and on the French register: Whois.
No German people at all for me, just a commercial name.
Are you sure about that? The SCT 2000 is € 219 now. The SCT 700 might be a good alternative ( € 155).In case an Alctron GT-2B might be close enough, in Europe hunting down some t.bone SCT 2000 might not be a bad idea - ~150e on average for the whole shebang, used (mic, shockmount, multipattern power supply, 7pin cable).
Mic and Mod's capsules are from FZ audio I think. They're actually pretty good capsules. When I was auditioning factories and wholesalers before deciding to do it in house, they were one of my favorites, right behind 3u, but you are getting full scammed if you pay over $99 shipped for singles and volume should drop off steeply.
Edit:
My bad, I didn't see that there were more posts after that one.
