O.T. HIGH end mic good news

I'm just a firm believer reissues should be treated as a different mic. Too much has changed, and the mics have to be re-engineered for modern production methods.

Probably will be a good tube but it won't be a revival. The WE of today bought the name- it isn't the same company.
It will be a reverse engineered tube, at best a copy. Remember when Sparkomatic made A7's?
Hopefully a good copy. WE has been making decent tubes according to friends.
Disclaimer- I have never used tubes from the company now calling itself WE.

I didn't know that. I thought it was a remnant of WE.

I've followed closely.

Peluso was warned by Neumann not to use the same grill. They use a Russian EF 95.

For 3 grand .The A/B is indistinguishable. So Neumann and their resources went ahead with a brand new ef86 in big quantities to pick the best.
