I wouldn't call it "cheaper" either... nor would I call it less expensive. The mic is what it is and the price is the price... so, if you like what you hear and think it's worth the money... great.
If you don't think it's worth the money than buy something else. This isn't a "popularity contest" and we're not in it to win TEC

A body tube is not a head assembly or a kick drum..

Kevin, would you like that to be a hard rock or a soft rock? Maybe some metal?

now that I found out, that we are talking about the same, it doesn't make sense to me, how your answers are  the bodytube is very imporant. if it resonates t.h., kick the mic in the garbage. ask klaus if you don't belief George

All body tubes resonate. The Ela-M 251 body tube not only has resonance, the plastic preamp housing has resonance. U47s have body resonance. Everything does. It's unavoidable. The hope is to insulate the capsule and the vacuum tube from the resonance, or at least dampen the vacuum tube.
Regardless, there'd be no difference in resonance between a body made in the US and one made in China, in terms of resonance.

yes JJ, I know, but you can make that with propermaterials, out of the hearingrange or acousticly cover it. remember the new genelec? they resonate at 3khz (at least the 8030), that is.. not cool. very tiring, and covers up sound. now let's do it the opposite way and sing in the genelec and call it your microphone  cheers

I give up. The dark side of the GS force is too strong in you.

The mics will be here this afternoon.
I'm going to have to lick them until nightfall to get the full effects of the extra lead so that I can burn this thread from my memory.
