I was listening to the 7/27/04 Dead taped w ADK TL's and fell in love w the mics. Upon research I found that the TL's are about 5-8 hundred apiece. Anybody use or familiar w the less xpensive ADK's?
the price you saw was per pair....
With a little searching, you should be able to find the TL's for <$900/pair. Well worth the $$, IMO. Its been awhile since I've priced them, so please correct me if I've missed a price increase.
People have had good success with the ADK SC-T model, though I don't know how much it runs...
I use the ADK A51S LEs (Matched pairs), which are now the Hamburg (warm) and Vienna (pres). The A51s are great mics, though they only come in cardioids...
I got mine for $350 off of EBAY (Andy's Music), but I've seen similar pairs on Yard Sale here for $300.
But yeah, the TLs are VERY nice sounding and well worht the loot...

proud owner of the tl's for about 2 weeks, they can be had for less then 800 matched and less than 700 unmatched, pm me if you want details
I use the A51 STPro matched pair and I love these mics. they do omni,card,fig. 8; also have a 10db pad and bass roll off. I bought them on ebay and wow what a deal a $305 for a matched pair didn't even meet the guys reserve and he let them go anyway brand new.
I paid $795 for a matched pair that came with 2 pairs of shock mounts (regular and super), 2 pairs of wind screens and the flight case...can't go wrong with these mics.
I got my TLs for 650 unmatched and haven't noticed any difference in them.
Matched or unmatched, they are great mics for the money
I use to have a pair of generis gc-1 mics. They are made by adk. Got the pair for $200 on ebay. Made nice tapes!!
i am curious about the matching as well.
has anyone with an unmatched set noticed any difference?
yes, but very small, ands once you know about what it is it is very easy to adjust...
fwiw - I wouldn't pay the extra money for matching on the ADK's.. I think their QC is good enough

I'd love to get a matched set of Hamburgs... One day I'll up-grade my babies...

You can find the sc-t's new for about $200 a piece. The new model comes with omni & card caps. I've had mine since late May and have been pleased with my recordings.
