Just got of the phone with the Carol Shelby of the Microphone world, Taylor Johnson. http://www.oktava.com
We talked at length about his business, and he let ime in on some new info I wanted to pass on to you all.
Taylor is now putting together a whole new pre-amp series in his mics which will have audio coming down both the plus AND minus sides (Read: Hotter, less noise!)
He is building his own "souped-up" diaphragms & capsules for
the Oktavas. There are alot of mics out there these days that have Chinese capsules creeping into them. These are cheap, poorly-made capsules, showing up in products from sames as esteemed as Audix & Sennheiser.
But the BIG news...
Taylor is putting out his OWN line of mics now, called
THE Audio. These are German/American hybrids, and in recent testing, blew away many top guns, including the best of the BLUE mics.
Check it out for yourself:

I don't work for Taylor Johnson. I am just an extremely satisfied customer who appreciates the best in quality & customer attention. And Taylor is one of the rare geniuses in the business who will take the time to talk your ear off, yet you enjoy it!

Taylor Johnson's a useful guy to talk to. I sent him an email asking him a simple question about an Oktava ribbon, and he sent me a long reply with so much information that I could make my decision based on that. I'm glad he's putting his own line of mics and pres together - I bet they're ace. He had very kind words for the Royer ribbon mics, by the way.
