Very good mic.
So far this mic sounds very good. I have not yet had a chance to compare against my friends U87, but I'm impressed with what I'm getting from it so far.

I am not great at soldering but the ready to made mic is great. It really is the best and most versatile mic I own. Smooth open sound and forgiving. I use it in vocals and acoustic guitar and I’m very happy. I need 2-3 more honestly and I think everyone should try them out. Certainly less harsh and sibilant than my much pricier Manley Reference….

Friendly and worked with me, though I made the error

It’s true, it really is the finest microphone I’ve ever owned. And certainly one of the best I’ve ever heard. I A-B’d it against a classic Neumann U87 and several other mics, and it beat them all, hands down. Crisp without over-accented sibilance, but warm and full-bodied with wonderful transience and rich lows. I’m in awe of how beautifully it captures the human voice. This mic steps up my game as a voice artist considerably. I could not be happier with my purchase.

So far, so good. I'm digging the U87 clone. I haven't used it a bunch yet but I don't anticipate any issues. Dachman were good to their word. The only tiny niggle is the pattern switch is a little off and wonky but still operates as it should.

So far so good, I’ve never used a Neumann microphone so I have no way to compare it but I own a lot of very nice microphones and I do believe this may be the nicest microphone I now own.
