In a guitar center catalog I saw two Octava mics priced really cheap. One is a ribbon mic (MA52 i think) and other is a tube mic (MKL2500). I'm assuming it's all just too good to be true and that they are junk, but I'd love to be wrong in figuring that. I was just wondering if anyone has heard how they sound. Thanks
