Hi All, I'm looking to get some advice on some budget friendly stealth mics. I've been running a pair of Core Sound Binaurals, but they're getting old and I'm just not happy with them anymore. Should I send them back to Core to have them tuned up or just go for new mics? And if so, whats a decent pair of stealth mics for around $250 or so?

i dont think there is much tuning up theu can do to em, other than matching em.
save up about 600 and get some dpa 40XXs

Do you want to upgrade your CSB to another binaurals or cardioids?
I strongly recommend you soundprofessionals. And for that price you'll find very interesting audio technica pairs (such as SP-CMC-2/4 or SP-BMC-12).
Also, what Recorder are you using?

I'm using a JB3, and just a generic battery box. No pre, should I get a pre? I'll check out soundprofessionals. Sorry Ray, there's no way I can save up $600 at this point in my life, but thanks :)

If the DPA route is too much and you want to stick in the $250 range try the (SP-CMC-8)AT943's

You can get different caps for them and you can get the phantom option if you want which allows for the full functionality of the mics. I have the phantom kit but also use the battery box in SupaStealthMode and they work great. There's a link to my recent Digable Planets recording that was recorded with them in 'Kickdown Central'.

There is a nice set of Audix M1290's in the Yard Sale section! (shameless plug) ;D
