Yea I feel ya. But their attention to detail and quality hasn't changed. That remains the same in my experience with their current transformerless mics.
They just don't sound as good as the old classics with transformers IMHO and telefunken tubes that were once used. Nor do they make the M7 capsule anymore. Same company just different products on the most part..
I never had a problem with their quality new or old. Also... Very few mic manufacturers actually have and use a clean room to make and skin their capsules. For those who don't, the capsule collect dust under the gold membrane. That is one of reasons why Neumann capsules are better than the smaller competition. Then been doing it for 50 years or so. And got the proper equipment, techs and rooms to do it right. Neumann makes the same or better grade capsule as they did for the last 50 years in my book. Along with some other German Mic companies.
