Yes! Especially on energetic high female vocals it'll save you!

Andy and Markus from hestudiotechnik and their technician knows these old stuff and it's restauration very well. There are a lot of old mics out there (especial in your U.S. area), that are modifed to death or simply butchered! If you own such a mic, you'll never get it's strength.

Of course! You should have known after 25 years that the U67 is one of the best alround mics ever build.

You have to know how a U67 works. 1) Don't use a popscreen (the U67 don't need it, believe me it works) that kills one or two db of high frequencies, 2) the U67 takes EQ very well! (therefor it's pretty well known). Simply add some highs to your assumed dull signal and/or use the right preamp.

If you have the chance, try also an U47! If it works on vox it'll beat the U67 (more 3D). I prefer the later K47 capsule (darker), the M7 has a bumb at 8K, that may sound cool, 'cause it's more right into your face, but the younger U47 is my thing.
