Hi Chris Lambrechts

Thank you for your reply

149 vs a good U47 .... don't bother comparing. The 149 is a splendid mic, very reliable and rock solid. when you plug it in you know what you'll get. With vintage mics like the 47 you can allways be in for surprises. Sometimes I have the impression that it sounds different on different days. Maybe it's just me ... but when it sounds right .... nothing sounds better.

Do you mean the M149 is better than the NEUMANN U47 ? .

Thanks
