PMI B stock sale

[Big Kenny]

Just got an email, (I am not affiliated in any way) and I don't care if you buy this stuff or not. Consider this a heads up, PMI is selling off a bunch of Studio Projects and Toft B stock at like half price. T3 for $350, ATC $650 etc.

[Bartman]

I received the same e-mail.

A question for anyone who owns or has used both the SP T-3 and Groove Tubes GT-66.

I have the Groove Tubes GT-66 and like it on my voice and acoustic guitar....considering the SP T-3 as a vocal mic.

Anyone with first hand experience able to compare and contrast? Feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks much.

Bart

Hmmm... Kinda bums me out that I didn't get the email, as I've bought a crapload of their stuff over the years and I know they have my email info.

Might have to check out what they have available.

Shite... this thing was supposed to in production last February. The web page blandly claims that everything is 'still on track!!'.

Bullshit cubed. Forget about it.

I got the T3 for $350, and I'm partially funding it by selling an extra RNC that I never use for $130 shipped. PM me if you're interested.

[Harlequin Man]

i cant order..?

why??

i want those JM27's

[stetto]

Too late--I ordered the JM27s last night (they had 2 at that price) and a pair of SP C4s...Couldn't a' done it without Bartman's headsup at another site....

...But I'm not sorry...

I didn't get the email either- I think I'm hurt.-Richie

[amra]

Stetto, it will be interesting to see who gets them, of if they honor the price if they oversold them, because I ordered two JM27s on the ninth also, but in the afternoon. Paid $30 bucks each, shipping included. Hopefully everyone who ordered some will get them as promised.

[stetto]

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh....the plot thickens...Well, I can tell you that my wife (also my bookkeeper) caught a $320 debit in my business account....I have been busted, but at least I know how much they charged me....

We'll know for sure when the little brown truck pulls up this week...

[stetto]

'Nother interesting item; I just now came from www.pmiaudio.com/ and they still seem to have all the same items available...You'd think they'd update, wouldn't ya?

Did Stephen Paul pass away? That would make it difficult to get his final approval on the mike. Just sayin'...

Hmm, I ordered a T3 and they never updated the quantity either. CI2, was the listing "1 available" when you ordered yours?

cheers,

[mrbowes]

I ordered a T3 + a VTB-1.

[reshp1]

You might be one of at least 3 people fighting over potentially only 1 B-Stock T3's. CI2 and I both ordered one before you, and it definitely said 1 available before and AFTER I ordered.

Yes, but when I spoke with Justin Hyatt on the phone he said "I think we have one or two of those left" so I think, at one time, there was more than one.

In any case, I know I'm getting one because I've tracked my UPS shipment. It's coming tomorrow for me. I would call up PMI and ask them if they've shipped you one or if they plan on doing so.

Thanks, I'll call them. I'm kinda having a little buyer's remorse to be honest so it wouldn't be the end of the world if they didn't have any left.

[mrbowes]

I called em. My order went through. My T3 + VTB1 are shipping today.

I just got that tube. Thanks for the tip. A friend of mine that got the T3 said the tube upgrade was an improvement for him. Is the tube on the T3 socketed?

[Richard Monroe]

Yo Rez! Yes, I'm sorry, Stephen Paul passed on, and it was a great loss to many people. This is one where I think Alan Hyatt did the right thing. He had the business acumen to meet the (very tough) requirements of an eccentric mic genius who was unfortunately, dying. Stephen wanted to build "Godzilla", projected to be a $40,000+ studio mic. There's damn little market for $40,000 mics, so I figure Stephen believed he'd have to build a mic a mere mortal could afford,to pay for the Godzilla project, and the Hyatts had the vision to put up capital. His mission was to blow Neumann, B.L.U.E., et al. out of the water with a less than $2000 mic. Did he achieve it? I've never heard the prototype.
Now, I would not wish on PMI a cash flow problem, but taking some time to bring Stephen's mic to the market is a very good move. Stephen and Alan both suggested that the mic employed revolutionary technology and design, and were very tight-lipped about it. All that really matters is whether this mic, which for good or ill, will be Stephen's legacy, rocks. As far as I know (fairly little), PMI's claim to the proceeds of the mic, and any of Stephen's estate, was long since settled to all party's mutual sayisfaction.
I don't think the issues are legal, or that the mic won't be built, but I'm betting it's a tough mic to build properly in a cost-effective fashion. That's the challenge to PMI. Better to do it when you really can than too soon badly.-Richie
