Aloha Kev,

Howzit, my friend.

Thank you for clarifying the history & lineage of the 251 series. At this stage, my recall is not as sharp as it was & I don't trade mic's anymore.So I'd forgotten about that great mic's evolution. I owned a Soundelux Elux 251 briefly, not it's AKG-made predecessor. Sure sounded nice on my voice though..

And yes Jim1960, the Bock 251 is a nice sounding clone. That's a nice company, IMO.

But, what do you two AGF vets think about Warm mic's in general & their appropriation of the "251" or "47" model numbers in selling their mic's under $1000, Chinese-made "clone" - Ha! mic's. How do they sound compared to the originals. Any comparison at all? I was underwhelmed by their WA-47, even at that cheap price.

Whaddayathink, fellow great mic-afficionados?

I do swear by AUDITIONING MIC's & gear before you buy. Saves times, money & aggravation.
