Front End Audio has them for $650. Looks pretty interesting. I like the open faced shock mount.

The splitter box has an additional inverted top output so no decoding necessary if using M/S. If you record in mono you could adjust in post without plugins on any processing at all.

Sure this isn't the $599 Avantone Pro CK-33, but with a new flashy dark-brown paint job?

One of Vanguard's founders is a guy named Ken Avant, who founded Avantone.......hmmmmmmm, it's in the video:

These mics look too similar to me.  Maybe cousins.

$650 vs. $599 = must be what that mount is worth?
