I own a pair of AKG CS1000 - a cigar shaped microphone w/ a large condensor element. Great for the value, but I wouldn't compare them w/ a bonafide tube mic. A plus - they have a 9volt compartment inside for phantom power, and they are built very tough. I've used them for vocals and acoustic (very nice), and sax (just ok). When I record my takamine, a single AKG sounds way better than the internal pickup that came with the Tak. Good luck!

If you are planning on getting good mics like Sure I would just get the mics from a reputable source that way you have some warranty and don't spend too much. Unless the guy on ebay is a music store selling through there.>>> I think the guy on E-bay IS a music store, because he's not just selling one, it seems like he/she has several. It's kinda like how AltoMusic sells stuff on E-bay. <<By the way - a Fostex VF80 goes for $499 at American Musical with free shipping on anything over $249. >> Yeah, if you get it without the CD-burner, the CD-burner costs and extra 200 samoleans. <<And they have that wonderful easy pay plan I am notorious for taking advantage of :) >> You must have good credit for them to let you use the payment plan, as they run credit checks. That's the reason why I bought a VF80 instead of a VF160. :-P BTW, someone said that they thought the SM-57 isn't particularly good for recording acoustic instruments. Since one of the main reasons I'm looking for a mic is to record the used Takemine 12 string I bought a few weeks ago, what would you suggest for that purpose? I really don't have a lot of money to buy a bunch of specialized purpose mics. Right now, one that does several things well enough is what I'm shooting for. ===== May you never thirst!
