FWIW...I have two coupons for SoundPure; 10% off up to $500 of discount, or $50 off $500 or more (says new customers). Not the biggest discounts, but message me if you want to use them.

Nashville folks- I see a pair of Soyuz Bomblets on Craigslist... asking $2000, supposedly used once. If they even budged a little thats a solid price. Johnkenn Martin John Butler |

Thanks Jacob. I didn't love the Bomblet when I tried it, especially next to the 0-17 and 0-19 FET. I am interested in their new mic though.
It's strange that I liked what I heard online of the 1973, even though it has the same capsule as the bomblet.

If anyone needs a decent little 500 series utility pre - ZenPro has Fredenstein Artistic Pres w DI for... $99. Wow. Fredenstein Artistic Pre se (LINK)
I think the only difference between this and the $250 version, is it doesn't have a transformer. Still has an opamp though. $99 is like... absurd. |

It has an interesting texture. Reminds me of the texture of an Electrodyne, but much milder. It's hard to tell from just clips. |

I haven't used them a ton, but they are neutral and have that ribbon thing going on. Not super dark like an old RCA, not as articulate as a high end Samar, but cool, and certainly useable. For $22 - why not just try one? |

Must have sold out very quickly. |

I tried to get a pair. Amazon let the order go through yesterday, now says shipping sometime before end of April. I went to Monoprice just now, says it’s discontinued www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=625908 |

I grabbed one of the Monoprice ribbons a while back and it's been great on percussion overdubs but haven't used them on much else yet.
No problems here with the sound but I find them quite noisy. Like a single coil pickup noisy where you have to orient it in a certain direction to minimize it. Even then you couldn't call it quite.
Any others having the same issue?

I got a pair back a while ago. One is noisier than the other. Gotta say, they sound pretty great on trombone. There’s a real presence bump for sure. A little less detailed but punchier than a 4038 or an R10. This is maybe halved when the Coles or Royer is Cloudlifted. For $110 for the pair shipped, not bad!

Got the 5 mics today. Only 4 worked.  Guess I should have ordered 6. Either I get none, or one out of my friends is going to be disappointed. Guess Ill have to take one for the team. It's not even worth sending it back, and they look to be completely sold out. Soooo......SOL. |

Also even factoring in $22 or whatever split over 4 working mics... $30 a pop for a useable vibe ribbon seems pretty awesome. |
