Following on from Steve's comment, if it is of any interest to you Enda, I can offer an early Brahma (serial no 008), about 18 months old, and an old Oktava MK-012 D4 (maybe around 20 years old). I'm in Bray, so only about 11 miles from TCD. I had some problems with the calibration files for the Brahma, but I had it recalibrated and now I am very satisfied with the result. The Oktava was calibrated by Fons Adriaensen. It produces a very good sound on orchestral and large-scale choral recordings (the only ones I have used it in conjunction with conventional microphone techniques, where I could make a comparison), but the very large array size - 48-49 mm radius - means that the directionality is noticeably quite poor. The current Oktava MK-012 D4 mount is different, more stylish; but I have no idea if the array size is any smaller. Gerard
