Keep making great mics.
Back to one of the original objectiions. There was not care to recreate the original mic. They made a new mic, and named it after an old one. How is that admirable? They are not "continuing a legacy" It's a completely new company that took the name of one that's no longer around to sue them.

It's a little confusing, because on one hand Telefunken USA has made some recreations of vintage mics, but this is not one, even though it looks like one. On the other hand, the new mics Telefunken USA have produced are typically worthy products in their own right. (from my limited experience with them.)
