I am really just looking for a M179 right now. I want to replace my d112 on floor tom with the 179 and I would also like to start experimenting with some other polar patterns since all of my mics are cardioid or hyper-cardioid.
Yeah its pretty crazy how much people are asking used. The standard rate on ebay for a used cad is close to 100. Must be all the hype. Lets start a thread hating on M179's to bring down the cost!
