I have not heard them, but from what I know about the construction of the
CEMC6, which is shared with a number of very inexpensive Chinese brands, the
Peluso must be far superior.

CORRECTION: The Josephson must be far superior.

Is the workmanship really that bad? The only chinese mic I have is a SP C1
and it's not too bad. Mind you it's never been on the road!

I don't understand the bad-mouthing of the Peluso. I have a
pair, and I think they are quite good. Great on piano. The
construction is nothing to brag about, but the capsule is where
it's at, and the Pelusos seem to have their quality put there.
The capsule can come off without worry, but I wouldn't do it
every day. But then again, I had lots of problems with AKG 451s
and their bad threads. Bob seems to hate the wire mesh in the
body of the mic, but it could be replaced if it caused you any
problems. To me, it sounds way better than the old 451 anytime.
I can't compare it to another Chinese mic although I thought it
was much better than the Octava sdc. Not as mellow as the
Schoeps.
