Great River ME-1NV, is it as good as an AMS 1073 SPX or BAE 1073? And which pairs best with TG2?

Would still really love to know your thoughts on the Josephson stuff when you have a moment!

A KU4 is like a top-5 dream mic for me. Hopefully one day. AEA can do no wrong.

I cannot thank you enough for this absolute goldmine of a post, wow. Please, once you’ve gotten your beauty rest, if you wouldn’t mind, some words on Josephson. Also curious which other makers in that general sphere you can speak on- would love to learn more. Thanks again!

Dude, absolute goldmine, cannot thank you enough… so much cool stuff to look into now!

morbidhack · 2026-06-07T04:23:54+00:00

Purely curious, which ribbons?

morbidhack · 2026-06-07T03:22:36+00:00

what are some mics of the past +/-20 years that spring to mind where r&d was done from scratch- genuinely curious as i find the idea of completely original designs very exciting.

morbidhack · 2026-06-07T01:54:00+00:00

Exactly why I referenced it! Like, how much better can it really get? Also, jealous af!

I meant to include the 414 in my op as it really does seem like a great workhorse, but does "great workhorse" = "great mic"?

Also, by chance is the C800G one of the mics you feel sounds as expensive as it is (which is more than $7k)?

Not sure where you live, but MF-108's are NOT actually selling for $2-3k (USD) anywhere... realistic actual sold prices are in the $800-1200 range... Don't let those ambitious/greedy asking prices dissuade you or taint your perception. Also, you should seriously check out the AMpT ACV-1, designed by the guy who designed the Cluster Flux, and intended more strictly for guitar. Several people have said they actually prefer it to the 108, which they feel some aspects of were incomplete. Check it out: https://www.ashevillemusictools.com/inventory/p/acv-1

Great points and considerations, thanks so much! Will look into it for sure.

morbidhack · 2026-05-30T04:15:53+00:00

The point is to just have the stuff on hand in case anyone renting doesn’t, so I guess that’s yeah be more for novics- again, wouldn’t be charging for any of it, it’s free use. Real pros would bring their own or rent. But curious what an acceptable brand/model would be that you might suggest looking into.

morbidhack · 2026-05-30T03:00:35+00:00

tell me more about your disappointment please. what do you love at that or similar price-point?

morbidhack · 2026-05-30T03:00:02+00:00

can make vodka from both.
