First of all. You are putting "words" in my mouth. I never said I was fine with Neumann changing everything about their own mics. I said their attention to detail and quality has not changed, along with some other points. Please don't put words in my mouth. Can you point out where I said all this? Go back and read my post again carefully.

And most importantly. I am not on Flea's case. If you know me at all on GS. I don't hesitate to give anyone here my honest user opinion. Some Dealers hate it, some learn from it (LIKE FLEA) with a positive light and like to hear comments from its users.. Potential buyers love to hear user opinions that are true more or less. Thats one of the reasons why you roam here right? I can't make everyone happy. I just lay it down how it is from my perspective. Obviously you not happy about something. Have you ever compared a Neumann Telefunken U47 head grill to a Flea U47 head grill? Or are you just an owner of a Flea 47 and you are justifying/defending your purchase? Its normal. Lots of guys have that tendency. They buy something. And they come here ready to go to war to defend it.
Happens all the time here.


The thread's title is "To Flea or not to Flea" Am I correct? As owner of their part (head basket of a U47). I believe I have the right to lay down my opinion based on that Title. If I didn't own anything from Flea. Then I wouldn't posting anything in relation to the thread. I feel the head basket could be done more exact. And again, I am not the only one who mentioned this on this forum. Are you going to debate to every person here who agrees the Head basket could be improved? The body is right along with the other parts. You might as well get it all right. Or you should we stop right there? I was raised if you are going to do something, Do it right, or don't do it at all. YMMM. Apparently, you are a happy customer. So why stress about the head basket bro? I just pointed it out. Laid my opinion on the thread..nothing more.
