It's actually every single under $500 ribbon we stock and sell except for the Oktava ML-52 which we just didn't have in stock.
Apex 205 ($99)
Apex 210 ($189)
Avant CR-14 ($249)
Beyer M260 ($349)
CAD Trion7000 ($259)
Oktava ML-53 ($375)
I've used all of these mics, but never compared all of them all at once. They cover a wide range of sounds, which you'll be able to hear for yourself shortly.
So...more info soon...and clips...VERY soon I promise!
My plan is guitar cab, acoustic guitar, drums and possibly vocals. Wish I had a horn player handy.

If you ever have the spare time, I am really hoping you can formulate an opinion for me as to which of the low priced ribbons on the market are actually hidden gems. So far a colleauge of mine told me the "large" Apex ribbon is a great find (I think Apex 210), but I am curious to find out which of the cheapies really is the hidden gem. Basically I am looking for the best cheap cheap cheap stop-over on my way to Royer 122V's
