Upgrading gear.

Today, I decide to purchase a like-new U87 Ai matte. It's really a good Mike for Pop sound.
I also purchase for a pair of cc115 channel strip (including a Rack and power), after a week searching the Internet I just found only one link about this item. However my feeling is good. This make the sound birghter and the trimulator is so strong.
the cc115 is a channel of Amek classic, and designed by Rupert Neve.
I also looking for another AKG C414B. Hope with 2 similar mikes, my steel sound will become better.
All of them is wasting my money. Hope they will help me to earn more, Lol why making music here can't earn a lot.

Thank Mike, i'm reading the SE 4400 from the internet, I can see the photo and it's look like the C414 rite?
My problem is I'm in Vietnam and it's hard to make some test with the new microphone, and to know about new brand, so thank for your advice. I'm going to look for some demo of SE 4400.
Cheers.

You can't go wrong with a U87 mate, it's a classic mic. The 414 is great workhorse too, but if you want to save some money, you ought to at least try the SE 4400. It's not a clone of the 414, but it has a similar workhorse ethic.
