I must admit that I had never heard of Micro Acoustics. Courtesy of Google their premier electret cartridge, the 830CSA in 1984 was USD335. That of course translates to £335, and RPI has done a factor of 3 since then - so call it £1k in today's money. Sizable sum, but not outrageous as compared with some of today's offerings, which can be £10k and upwards.
