Thanks Jan, I did go check out the Neumann site, but didn't actually find the vintages. In any case, I'm thinking about a different price range: $750-$1,000. I know the Neumann TLM 103 is about $1,000 new, but I am thinking about a tube, if I can find any in that range. The AKG tube is about $1,000, but I wasn't so thrilled w/ it. Thanks for the input. JM
