I have thought all about these.
Thats why I decided to try first this beloved group.
It doesn't have to be Massenburg's nice comment to start going (although
it would help I guess :) )it could be also DJ or Cujo or Don or anyone else
who would really like it.
I don't have any plans for massive production thing.
I have only a goal to sell 5-10 pieces mostly because I really love tube
mics and I always wanted a U47 -again- after I sold it for the big money
I gote back then.
If this thing will get only positive reactions then maybe I could do another
5-10 mics.
I don't have that much spare time to make this a 9 to 5 job.
I am considering lowering the price cutting some construction plans without
cutting anything that has to do with the actual sound and look.
I will have it around 1900 $ using a true K47 capsule and holder plus a Telefunken
UF/EF tube.
I have also found the UF/EF tube substitute that has the same sound but can
easier be found but needs some martketing here to have people accept it.
Most of them want to seethis fat short black tube that says
xF-14, well...
Thanks toall.
Regards,
Dimitrios
