So what's going on you say?!!!
Well.... We have been cranking like crazy to get the ceiling up in the new space, I will post pictures at some point!
We have also come very close to concluding our tests with various tubes and such with our GLABS-UF47 and we feel while the two tube 408a concept makes an interesting sounding and very musical mic, it is not quiet or reliable enough for prime time. We are leaning towards the Phaedrus-Audio solution as it sounds excellent is reliable and also if you ever find one you can drop a VF14M tube right in and all you have to do is recalibrate the voltage! Capsule choice on the other hand is still the great debate. Thiersch Elektroakustik makes two really great capsules that are M7 in the classic sense but I think what most recordists and vocalists really want is the K47/49 Neumann variant. Sadly the latter pushes the cost of a GL-U47 up about $800.00 USD as Sennheiser (owner of Neumann) will not sell in bulk discount! Maybe we will offer both!
We are also busy cataloguing all our acquired gear and will be selling off what we don't feel is absolutely necessary moving forward, its a lot of really cool stuff people!!! We will most likely open up shop on Reverb.com.
