I like lots of solid state Neumanns for various things... 87's, 47fets, KM-84's, KM-86's...
but not a single one of the transformerless ones is worth a dam.
For what USED to be the Neumann sound, I'd buy Gefells.
(edited to correct my own spelling... as I remembered the original expression is "worth a tinker's dam"... not 'damn'. Pedantic, ain't I?)
