Line Out - Comments on Telefunken: The $10,000 Microphone http://lineout.thestranger.com/2008/05/telefunken_the_10000_microphone In Glengarry Glen Ross, Alec Baldwin’s character takes off his watch, plops it on a table, and says, “This watch cost more than your car.” Yeah, Alec? Well this microphone costs as much as your watch. Meet the Telefunken...

The good news is -- you're fired.

You drove a Hyundai to get here tonight, I drove a eighty thousand dollar BMW. That's my name!!

Always be closing.

Dig deep, Trent. Those who care will be enlightened.

Kinda like abstract art.

Not to say I don't WANT one, I just mean you can't show up at a high school dance with jr. high moves. I would be a waste of its time.

Any examples of recorded output using one of those bad boys you can't point us too?

To your earlier point, an average Rolex weighs in around $25K, not that it really matters... just sayin'.
