A Poll of Sorts: Michael Joly Questions
Hello All,
If everything goes according to plan, it looks like I'll be doing a sit-down interview with Michael Joly in August, while I'm chillin' like a villain (whatever that is) in Cape Cod. I'll put together a podcast, but also some portion of the interview will appear right here at the Tape Op website as a bonus/extra feature.
So, while I have a bunch of things that I want to ask him myself, this is a good opportunity for y'all to ask any questions that you may have had burning in your very soul for Mike lo these many years. Microphone stuff, technical stuff, personal stuff, business stuff, controversy, but no trade secrets ("Say, how exactly do you do that one mod? Could I have a parts list and suppliers please?"-- No). Also, no Tiger Beat "What's it like to be Michael Joly?" questions. C'mon, feed me. What do you want to know?

I might get flamed for this, but I'd like to know why his 990 mod isn't more affordable. I understand in the end you get a really nice mic back, but there are mics that cost less that sound just as nice.

No, I get it, and I will ask, but if I was to venture a guess at an answer, I'd say that it's just expensive to make and sell basically hand-made goods, with quality parts. He has a bunch of people working for him now, but it's still not a huge multi-million dollar factory manufacturing process. And if there's hand-wiring involved, it's going to cost more...

Yes, that's true. But I've always been a fan of MJ's research and work, and I would love to have him do the PE thing on my 990; but the price has prevented me from doing that. No big deal really, I'm just sayin'...trodden wrote:well, then you have other options, right?KennyLusk wrote:I might get flamed for this, but I'd like to know why his 990 mod isn't more affordable.
