has anyone used an AKG Solid Tube microphone? I've been offered one for 600 Euro and I'd be grateful for any comments on this mic.

I havent heard it, but I have seen reviews on it. Since I have a tube pre, I havent been in the market for a tube mic.
One thing about akg, I have a pair of the c 1000's, and they RAWK on stereo x-y acoustic recording. Better than all my other mics. BUT, I bought an AKG 414 6 mo. or so ago, and put it thru 2- 4 hour tests and hated it. Another studio owner in town had the same experience, and thaT is not a cheap mic.It was too middy and dark on almost anything I tried it on, so I flipped it on ebay and it sold in 10 minutes. I dont see how one could sound bad, and the other sound so good, from the same company....... I would google for reviews on the tube mic and read all you can. You want to be concerned with the noise factor the most on it,cuz of the tube, as it probably sounds very good
