used akg 460's = $800/pair
new 722 = $2200

$3000

Where can you get a SD722 new for $2200?

Not only that, but if it were me, I'd have a hard time justifying to myself that I should put the majority of my investment into the back end of the rig.  The 722 might be nice, but most people build their rigs from the mics backwards...so I think that should include at least some consideration for investing in some extra capsules with the 460 as a priority to buying a 'Porche' on the tail-end.  Just my opinion.

Back end?!? The 722 is both the preamp and the recorder....not exactly the "back end" of the rig.
As for the mics, say what you will, but the 460's are hard to beat. A second pair of capsules for the mics, while not a bad idea, might not be the best way to spend your money if you are limited to $3000 since you can only use one pair of capsules at a time.

DPA4022>UA5>MT




thats' possible w/$3k ?


not sure, but ballpark, lol.  ;D   If you could find a good deal on some used DPA's it should be close? UA5 + used MT should be around $350 right? Maybe I am off here as I dunno about prices for UA5's.

you can't get a MT for less than $250, and most UA5's are about the same price.  your ideal <$3K rig looks awesome but I'll bet it ends up closer to $3500

yea, really.

More $3k fun
SKM1x0>MME>MT  that could be had pretty easily, I bet.

or
?? > any analog preamp > MR1
You could get an Aerco, MP2, V2, MMP...all for less than $700 (there about) and the MR1 for about $500.  That leaves a nice chunk of change for something tasty from the yard sale.

or
1/2 of a ST-350

the 248 is just a preamp though right?
You have to rely on the JB3 A/D which I wouldn't want to after having that much money in front of it.

oops my bad...totally forgot the JB3 was a digital in.

in any event, the 64->248 combo is cheap, and a winner.

Find a decent deck behind it that accepts rca's and you're in business.

I'm not done with accessories yet but my low(ish) budget rig has cost me around $800 so far.  Only have a stand to buy and a kwon-style bar to build.
