Looking for an Octava mk012

Do you have one to sell?

Just curious - have you tried the Behringer B-5? They're recommended (with APE balls fitted) as a budget alternative to much more pricey mics for classical recording like the Neuman M50. I've got 5 but have not done any recording yet.

Sorry for the hijack

Is it safe to google APE balls?

@Vintage65 I don’t know, but I do know I don’t want a Behringer.

Still looking.

I once had a brand new pair of these stolen by some workers who my landlord at the time hired and gave access to our flat. They were amazing mics. 

Sorry that's no help!

No worries, @ryanverbena. I'm sorry you had 'em nicked! I couldn't find any, anyway so am just going to borrow a pair of NT5s.
