Topic: AKG C 391 B purchase on internet

Howdy.

How would you evaluate a pair of AKG C 391 B that you purchased on the internet.  I read somewhere that the only reasonable way to evaluate them is to send them back to the maker for testing.

Any thoughts?

What would a set of these be worth used?

Thanks.

As far as purchasing goes, I bought mine for $400  here used in I'd say august and they were in great condition.

400-450 used is pretty common around here

Just a heads up, if you do end up picking up a set of 391's, BayTaynt3d has a set of 93 caps that he's been trying to sell for a while...

I have no connection to the seller, just know that he's been selling them a while now and that if I had a set of 391's I'd probably be all over em... HYPERS!!!

And as for BayTaynt3d, I've never had any transactions with him, so I can't personally vouch for him, but I'm sure that there's plenty of folks around here that can... He's been around here for a quite while and always seems to be a stand-up guy...

Here's the link to his sale:

Ebay and patience can have a pair for under 300.  Those things are always up there and i have paid for my 391's
$76
$128
$140ish
$49 (yes...the beat to hell one...but it works and sounds just the same as the others)

good luck

How do you evaluate them? You plug 'em in, record something, and listen! 

And yeah, buy my hyper caps, heh... (I've bought plenty in the YS, so no worries on that dept.)
