Some manufacturers include Peluso, Charter Oak, Blue, Mojave, Groove Tubes and many others. I bought a Peluso 2247LE last year and although its a totally different mic than a U87 I'll use it above my 87 in a heartbeat... for just about any source. My point is that, you can get a superior mic for the same $$$ as a U87, or buy two great mics with different vibe for the same price as a 87. | YEAH! + 1
