Any thoughts. Tubes, 3 sets of caps, field ready power supply. Use with AKG CK6_ caps.

There is a particular tape on the LMA.... I think it's Umphrey's McGee at House of Blues in Boston...  that is unbelievable.

very nice mics, but dealing with tube power supplies at a remote venue is a PITA.

I designed the DC Power Supply for Telefunken -> Runs both mics (could handle up to 4 mics) at 7-24V DC input.

They do sound very nice and are definitely on par with the Schoeps m222 setup I have.

It's a pretty hard deal to beat at $2900 w/ 3 sets of caps.

The field recording set solves that problem. :)

Yes, still an option. But I have nothing on the horizon.

Any LMA links?

How are their capsules?  I wonder if they are close to Scheops, or if they are "modern" versions (ie., Chinese made).

Please DO NOT mail me with tech questions.  I will try to answer in the forums when I get a chance.  Thanks.

I am pretty sure the m260 caps are made by hand at their facility in South Windsor, CT.  Every time I have been there they have been making various capsules.

I was going to suggest the MMJ tape he did, that was also fantastic.
