fwiw...
Peluso's are not made in china.
just the metal housing.

Gotcha.  Somehow I thought they were designed in the US, capsule made in the US, and assembled in China.

I ran a set of the AT4051as for a few years and sold them to a friend for $700 then bought a pair of gefell m300s.They are ATs top of the line SDC.The bodies are actually AT4900a and the caps are AT4051(card) AT4053(hyper) and AT4049(omnis).You should be able to find some 95>98 Panic done with these mics with various caps/pres.Very musical sounding mics IMO I enjoyed them.
regards,
Jim

I am a sucker for AT mics and I like the few tapes I've heard with these a lot. Helluva snag Nick!

Shameless pitch: Keep me in mind if the marginal utility on these runs out for you in the near future. ;D

$250 for a pair of At4051's is a bleepin' steal, IMO.  Possibly of this decade.  Audio Technica, for some stupid reason, .......and I mean that, ......gets absolutely no LOVE on this website.  They make great mics.  Lurve my AT3031's.  Very Schoepshish-sounding.  For a 1/10th of the price.   :P ;)

My old buddy Chris Clark ran the 4051/4053's side by side to my 480's on Phish tour EVERYNIGHT, and his tapes were always consistently good :) Theyre no 480's IMO, but you def got an AMAZING deal Nick! Great mics and def overlooked in our circles....

if you do score them for that price, that is a GREAT deal.
I ran 4051a's -> V3 -> P1 for a while (then moved for akg 460's). I dug the at's, had got some decent tapes (1 totally smokin' tape!) but I dig the akg sound more, which is why I ultimatly switched.

250 usd for a pair is an excellent deal. I bought mine new from ebay in July for 410 usd. I love the sound of these mics...
