I think perhaps I did not express myself properly.

I am criticizing his ideas as well. Nothing personal. I am not saying his is a bad character or a bad person, just that his ideas and his posture throughout this forum are not really appropriate.

I also didn't like some of the comments regarding the VM1-KHE as it has the same tone that this thread has: basically everything that is made nowadays sucks besides the mikes that he's put his hands on, transforming a modern mic that was not special by any means into a jewel.

Truth be told, Klaus is a great professional and we share the love for the old mics and perhaps this thread looks kinda personal because it deals with our passions and beliefs.

I think Klaus works hard to be fair, and to neither criticize nor overly praise any of the modern-made microphones, and especially those he has had a hand in.

Yes, he runs a tight ship. But every time he has deleted one of my posts, I have received a PM explaining why.

All of this takes time, and I think most people here really appreciate it.

If you let an Interwebs Forum get out of hand, it is not a pretty sight.

This is not meant to pander to Klaus, nor is it meant to criticize Caco.

We all have different beliefs.

This goes both ways in that obviously Klaus' passions are evident in the charge behind his judgements of anything but the classic Neumanns. I can certainly relate to the love of beauty driving somewhat less than completely accurate/appropriate expressions. As much as Klaus aspires to the highest integrity he is no less human than the rest of us.

Not to talk as if you aren't here, Klaus. I think there is an understandable vulnerability in sticking your neck out as you do.

With all due respect, understand that sometimes there comes a point in one's life  whereby you've earned the right through dedication, hard work, and respect from your peers, where you can just say things without been taken to task over every bloody detail.

This doesn't mean you have to agree with him, just respect the opinion and the reputation behind it and move on. Maybe he knows something you don't. Maybe he's dead wrong. It is however, a professional opinion - nothing more, nothing less.

I think we should not mix the forum and what it represents to us, and Klaus' opinions about the state of microphones manufacturing.

Klaus, as a moderator, has helped many people, including me, understand what those old mics are through many many posts and info given away. The forum has become an amazing, very unique resource about mics, thanks to him and some other big hitters that post here.
But no one knows everything, so we come here to share opinions and experiences, and that is what forums are about.

We should accept each others' point of view knowing that it has its rightness in its foundation.

One last element is that around the world, vintage mics have the advantage of being known for much longer than new mics, so you'll obviously find more people talking about their experiences about them.

On the same topic, here is another check at what is being used today, worldwide, in studios to record vocals.
And great music too :

If you go to the berbir hancock, the quality is actually better.

I was surprised to see the dimension of this project. In the teaser, we see various number of studios worldwide, including a great classy studio in Paris, Guillaume Tell, where I'd love to work.

Back to the topic Microphones & Haiti.

Michael W. Smith & friends at Ocean Way Nashville:

Are those C-12 and U-47 style microphones Peluso made? Looks much like them.
Anyway, that Neumann U-67 sounds really good. There are real U-47 too..

That Sony C800G is not there.

 the C800G sounded like a C12…with sandpaper

Exactly. Well said.
