NEUMANN TLM170 MICROPHONE *Special *PRISTINE-NEAR MINT* - eBay (item 110397538799 end time Jul-01-09 12:52:07 PDT)
This dealer is selling a Neumann TLM 170 (older one, purple badge) which has been modified and had a K67 capsule installed in it. I have seen this dealer around for a long time and I know they are fairly legitimate, so its not a mistake in the listing. The dealer claims this (swapping a K67 capsule for the stock K89 in a TLM 170) is a "well kept secret in the business." Has anyone ever heard of this being done? Does anyone have a clue what this would sound like?
