I saw in an old thread that Bob Olhsson said the Beyerdynamic MC 740 is the closest thing he's heard to a U67. Interesting that it's a solid state mic. Any opinions on the MC 740? MC 840 is the current version of the mic btw...
...years between each one. Maybe in five more years it will evolve into: "Bob Olhsson said the Beyerdynamic MC 740 is identical to a U67" and then five years after that it will be "better".
I’m very fond of the aesthetics of the Coles 4038, Beyer M160 and MC740, Lauren Atlantis, EV 468 and RE20, Sennheiser 441, AEA R88... Not digging the looks of any Blue/Violet, Aston, Earthworks, or Rode mics...
