Would love one..
Don't have $2000+, don't have a pre to do it justice, don't have the monitors to hear the difference, don't have clients who would pay the premium..
My NT2 looks like a U87!

Well if it looks like a U87 then it's got to sound like one too, right?

Not yet! Maybe after another 10 years of live sound paying the bills..

"Hey mate,
It is in perfect condition and sounds fantastic! Better than most U87's I have heard.
It is a 1999 model I think... I bought it second hand about 5 years ago. Since I made the purchase it has had pretty minimal use as I am usually working in Sydney at BJB, while my U87 is at my home studio on the Central Coast.
I had it serviced because it wasn't coping with high SPL very well like a good U87 should... Gunter adjusted the capsule sensitivity, installed a fet adjuster and biased the fet. It sounds A LOT better than it did when I first bought it. I have the receipt right next to me if you would like a scan?
Cheers,
JP"
