| On ebay, this guy sells rebranded Chinese mics under the brand name "Stellar." I got two of these that look just like a 121 and they are sweet sounding...I have a really nice vintage ribbon and I can tell you it's nicer sounding but not 4x the price nicer...
As Mr. Joly said, retensioning the ribbon is a great thing to do. Mine were severly untensioned and I retensioned both (without breaking them!) and they sounded a lot better. |
