nady reribbons (they claim), but why bother for the price, and I think apex doesn't do any repairs, L&M might do warranty replacement but they're pretty clear on the apex literature, you toast the ribbon, you've bought a paperweight. for for $80 to $100, I mean seriously, who cares? I've had reribboning done for more than that of other mics.

That's what I thought....if it breaks, buy a new one.
I remember reading some M. Wagner post, where he mentioned a Fostex model of ribbon mic that sounded great, but required re-ribbon every week or so in front of blasting guitar amps.
I would plan on using the 205 in front of blasting amps...but would like to get at least a few years out of the damn thing.
I own about 20 different condensor and dynamic mics, but I have never personally even tried working with a ribbon mic.
Just from reading these positive posts, and considering the low price, I plan on getting 1 or 2 of the apex 205's.....and hope they don't die quick.
