>I used to have one long times ago. M500 is a vocal mic, with many highs and a serious bass roll-off. Very good on a dark male voice. Really astounding. But will fit only very few other sources.
BTW it's extremely sensitive to shock. One drop on the floor and it's dead. And getting a ribbon replacement won't be an easy story. Perhaps no story at all...<

No - there is someone who does these using an RCA type ribbon. I'll find it again and post the link.
