[save]

what are some other stereo micorphones out there besides the AKG 426B, C 422, & C24 and the Soundfield?  been thinking of maybe trying out one of the AKG stereo mics if i can find one for sale sometime.  any other suggestions on diff. stereo mics that are out there and would work well for taping in the field?

Very fragile, but sounds most excellent.

i'd love to run a ribbon mics....but would be waaaaay to nervous to every attempt to run it in the fiield way to fragile for me!

ribbon mics are generally too sensitive for our applications, but that studio projects is supposed to have gotten great reviews

I recently bought an ancient Sony ECM-99 off of Ebay for cheap, and I am pretty impressed with the results considering how old and cheap it is!  I used it in a small bar for a local band and the sound is pretty good, even has a decent low-end.  I definitely think it sounds better than the current crop of Sony stereo mics (the 907/908 etc.) and they are plentiful and cheap on Ebay...  Plus having a mic that is powered by a C-cell battery is good for laughs.

better than my 908? hot damn

oh yeah:
Vivanco EM-160

I think it represents a reasonable step up in quality and price from the AT 822/825.
