Thanks for sharing this. $23.79 = insane. I had to grab one. The delivery window is a month wide, though, which is also kind of insane. FWIW, and veering off-topic, I also grabbed a pair of their SDCs with separate omni capsules that are now on the way, $62 for the pair; I have plenty of probably-better sdcs but what the hell, why not try em out.

oh no, discontinued again!

But the multipattern tube condenser is $119 - did we say that was a stupid-deal price?

This repeated discontinuation is giving me whiplash.

That is a good price for the tube condenser. I just start to wonder if I wouldn’t be better suited to putting $120 into repairing broken gear or something. $20 is easy to swing but $120? I don’t know

Welp, I got an email that mine shipped today. Here's hoping they're the correct ones this time.

I have a n old PPA LD2UBE mic from the early 2000's and it looks a lot like that monoprice. It is so harsh in the high end that I think I've only used it twice in over 10 years so im not taking the monoprice bait on this one. The little 3 pattern solid state LDC sounds ok so far though.

These are showing on the site again, for $59.99. Combine with site-wide 20% off promo code: 20MP to save a few bucks more.
