You know, this thread hasn't been touched in more than a year, but that's a GREAT read.

It also makes me wish I had about $5k to drop on good condensors, lol. Does anyone have any experience with affordable condensor mics? I was thinking of grabbing a set of these largely for the price ($130) http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/...se_pid/273168/ but a lot of the reviewers have found the MXL993 a little bright for acoustics, and there are apparently some durability concerns with the 990... They also offer a set of 993's in a case for $199, which would probably be better as a set for acosutic stereo micing, but less so as a set of general-purpose guitar mics, as they're probably be pretty bright for amp micing...
