They also got a good review on Tapeop for the kit.
I want to hear more before making a decision.
Not going to fault them for advertising.

for an extra $100 you can buy the serrano 87 already assembled. i haven't tried the Dachman, but the Serrano is awesome! you can also find Beesneez used often for $500 or so. No pad or other patterns, but they make awesome mics!

I'm looking for "already assembled". I visited the Serrano page. Impressive presentation. Thanks for your input.

Every clip of the Serano I heard reminded me of my 1977 U87. A few people over at Real Gear thought the same thing. Everyone who bought one loves it. I encouraged my brother to get one, and he's been super happy as well.

Looks like Dachman is selling assembled mics for the same price as Serrano. So many u87 options out there!

I recently used a Beesneez u67. Granted it was merely just a far room mic for drumbs, but I was impressed with it's fit, finish, and sound.

Just got myself one of them, too! Haven’t messed with the internal switches yet but still getting used to less sparkle up top like most of my other tube mics have
