Anybody tried any of these yet? There are a few different companies selling them now, they are all very much the same mics, just branded with different names (Nady, Apex, T Bone).
When I did some research, the only bummer (and for obvious reasons) is that most of the companies won't warranty a broken ribbon, but this is understandable for such a cheap mic that is so fragile.
I picked up an Apex 210 ribbon mic at Long & McQuade in Canada because they warranty it for a year! It was about $250 canadian, and while it is NOT a Royer or AEA (but not as far off as you'd think), it kicks serious ***!!! This is the coolest mic for a project studio, it has REAL ribbon mic flavour at a seriously affordable cost.
If anyone else has tried these let us know what you think...I say if you love ribbon mics as much as I do, you can't go wrong...buy one!
