THIS GUY IMO sounds like a really really bad sales man.
1) There's no "retail" price on these things, if he's grabbing the price off the MSRP of the mic they were trying to mimic, his credibility has drop from .5 to 0.
2) claiming "brand new", and that he "use them everyday"... I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that he has extras, he listed 3 of them on there (same mic), and from the last GB, i'm not sure if there's that many people that purchase more the 3 mic of the same kind... But i'll give him the benefit of the doubt.
3) The sound is "world class"...... from the way he write up his auction, i'm not sure if I should trust him.
One thing is for sure, he's quite funny.

Hmm just had a look on the "Pearl Microphones" site and didn't see anything along the lines of a 1200...
Where'd you find that info?
Thanks

AMEN to all of the above. I'd love to see the face of the person who, in trying to do his homework about this microphone, does a Google search of it, looking for stores that sell it...

Anyone with an ACM-2 AND an ACM-3 that would like to compare/contrast for me? I've got two candidates for ribbons: guitar amps (will I really be happier than with a 57?) and trumpet (will an inexpensive ribbon really hold up to trumpet blasts at 2-3 feet).
Anyone with both of those mics that would like to chime in on their experiences with those two applications and how they sound compared to eachother? I have a sneaky suspicion that the high order numbers for the ACM-3 are based largly on what it LOOKS like rather than the actual sound.
I know, I could just get both as they are cheap, but I've set a spending limit that covers the pres I'm getting. So going above that would really require some good convincing.

Measured at Pearl ( respected mic maker in Europe http://www.pearl.se/ ) for a customer with a 1200 type mic but I won´t give any links not to conflict any part or anyone

I don't have a 2, but I have a couple 3s... and I would say YES you will be happier with one of the ACM's. Chance seems to prefer the 2 to the 3 for guitar... and I love what I'm getting out of the 3. Good tones coming easy... a bit off center, a couple inches off the cab... zero EQ. It sounds mch more "natural" than an of the condensers I'ver used... all of which had more clarity and depth than 57''s i've tried.
But... just my opinion. Worth trying one or even two for the price.

Assuming they don't actually sell such a mic, it's probably okay.

As for the ACM-2/3 the 3 can be positioned in tighter quarters than the 2, Also they do sound a little different.
As for the E bay thing, You guys are forgetting something I thought I mentioned before. The GB prices are for forum members only. That Ebay guy got a lot of mics and is sold out of most of them. Some might remember that some mics from the first GB, that we got for $95.00 were sold under a major brand name for $1500.00.

As we approach the cut off date, will prices change in relation to order numbers? I'm currently in for several preamps and have ordered primarily the 84s as the extended high shelf is valuable to me but I'd be more than happy to swap them for the 73s if there will be a price differential.
How much movement will there be in that regard?
Many thanks,
Eric

Thanks for the info! Anyone else with ACM2 vs.ACM3 opinions - especially with regard to guitar amps (vs. SM57) and trumpet?

I would assume (anyone correct me if I'm wrong) based on the pricing e-mail that we will get the lower price on the 73 if it hits the 200 mark (seems likely to go that high) regardless of if the 81 and 84 hit the 100 mark. There's always the possibility people will flake when it's time to pay up so I don't know how Chance to garuntee the price point (or maybe I'm wrong... hope I'm wrong).

The price point for the pres is 100 units of any/or all of them. Chance renegotiated the deal a while back. Info was in the latest email.

To be fair, the $1500.00 one, if you mean the one I think you mean, comes with a different transformer that costs almost $200 by itself and a NOS tube that also runs you... okay, maybe only ten bucks for that. Maybe a different capsule, but I'm not sure.
Still, it gets reasonably close for under a hundred bucks and if you're into modding, you can probably make it identical to the $1500 mic for under a third of the cost.

The price swing based on volume is $25 a unit.

I think the 100 units is for all three (that is, all three models need a minimum of 100 orders each to meet the requirement.) So if the order is for 180 of one, 90 of another, and 80 of the third, the order would not meet the minimum requirement for the low price point on any of the models.The price point for the pres is 100 units of any/or all of them.

chance, correct me if I'm wrong.
