From what little I`ve heard Korby is more faithful to the original sound than Soundelux is.

the Korby is a new mic and sounds new ... although it may be more true to the sounds of the originals when new, it lacks any vintage coloration from aging or abuse. so why buy one? i might want one for the value, the quality, the 4 options and the service from the manufacturer... and in 30 years, it may sound vintage. mostly i'd buy one because it doesn't get any better than this for immediacy and clarity ...all 4 heads were clear, for their tone style.
also most mics seem to have a hyped top and the korby does not. in addition to the korby's transparency, the no-sizzle thing is seeming pretty cool at this point.
as for "what was the room and recording gear used?"... that info is not important in a comparision. the only thing that matters is if i can describe the mics well enough in a vacuum of sorts, so that you you can get a sense from the words of the silimarities and differences between somewhat like objects in normal uses.
if you have that, you pick and try one for yourself, etc, etc.
the whole "this mic sounds great on a guitar cab" thing is far less useful as there is no reference to anything else's sound.
