Title: Some People Buy Expensive Cars...
Post by: fanofjam on June 23, 2026, 10:48:43 PM

...I buy recording gear.

I have a spot ready for a second MK8.  One of these days...

Very nice.

Makes me think of Jerry Meyer's Neumann capsule collection in a pelican case - a pair of KM100 bodies and LC3 actives, pairs of AK20, 30, 40, 43 and 50 caps. One year he loaned me a pair of AK43s for the Wakarusa Music Festival and when I went over to his house to pick them up he just handed me the case and said "take the whole thing to do some experimenting". I was nervous since we were tent camping and wasn't sure I'd be able to keep them locked up in a car so I had to bribe someone to let me take my car into RV parking and leave it at someone else's campsite.

Options! Don't misplace that case.  Might consider putting a tracker in it.

Hell of a set of caps.

How come no MK2? I've been on the hunt for a pair myself to replace the Beyer/Line Audio omnis I run.
