HI all, I'm interested in starting learning the differences between the Russian and Chinese versions of the Oktava MK-012. I think that I would like to get a matched set either from a US supplier or in Ukraine the next time I am there.

Pro and con of each version would be nice to know with a minimum of crazyness please.

To start I can say that calling them MC-012 is not something that I think that the Russians would do. The C in cryillic is pronounces as an S (CCCP = SSSR). Microphone is микрофон (mikrofon if you do not have cryillic fonts)

Regards

Rumor mill has it that the Makay's in the UK are gone. The notes were called in and they could not pay, so no more Chinese Octava...Of course this is just a rumor, but I have good sources....

Lets see what happens....

Does this mean my real Russian Oktavas won't become $3000 collectors items?

Unlikely...I wish Octava success this time time around. I hope they get their production QC in order. :)

No, they won't, but it means the Chinese ones will. :)
 
I got to know the price in Russia/Ukraine

OK, I'll send my father-in-law an email tonight and see if he can find some in Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine and for what cost.
