I paid about as much for a pair years ago as it cost to get them refurbished last year by Land Audio... $300 or so
I figured at the time that to find a replacement in good condition would cost more... are you buying or selling Tony?

As a point of reference, there is a single that has been on Ebay for a month or two for $150.  I think he is scaring everyone away with "I have no way to test it, no returns".

So around 300 for a pair is a good price?

for 300 you should also get the a60 reducer rings.
I sold mine couple of months ago w/ rings and new windscreens for 275.00

darby, I'm thinking of buying. I would definitely need the a60 adapters and I need to unload my ck69's first. :P

At one point I owned my ck8s and a pair of ck68's... although I loved the sound of the ck68s,
the fact that they didn't work with my 480s because of the side pin like the mk46 active cables and obviously my 451s (smaller diameter)
was the reason I sold them since I don't need two pairs of shotguns.
In your case I don't know why you would would want to trade off, other than the difference in price.

True. I'm trying to scale back. I don't tape that much anymore and the big dollar stuff needs to go. If I can replace what I have with similar gear for a much lower price, I'll do it.

What windscreens fit the CK8's?
