But I was super impressed with his collection of about 100 RCA 44bx and 77dx mics. He said that he bought Gotham Audio a while back, and that he also bought a few big studios or something. His name is Robert Van Dyke. Anyone know anything about this guy? I wish I could afford his gear.

he quoted me some ok prices on some rca pres, but in a raw state, ultimately, he
was always GROUCHY NO TIME FOR QUESTIONS ARE YOU GOING TO BUY IT??
sometimes i didn't know whether to believe him or not, things like :
me : "do you have any altec birdcage mics?"
him: " have any? i have 57 of them all set to go........."

i gather from your post that you have been to his spot.........
