Peluso CEMC6 & hyper cap
Thoughts?
I don't know about all of them, but the Peluso's will run about ~$600 just for the mics + ~$185 for a matched set of hypers... unless you can find them used.
If you want to stay in budget, Busman has (will have very shortly) a line of mics that come with the preamp bodies, 4 sets of caps, card, sub card, omni & hyper, shockmounts, t-bar and a case for $400.
details here
http://taperssection.com/index.php/topic,94050.0.htmlThey will be very similar to modified Avantone CK-1's
You could also just buy a set of Avantone CK-1's for $300 that come with pretty much the same stuff (including a hyper cap with each mic), but no t-bar, no subcard capsule and unmodified by Busman.
I have samples of the modded and unmodded CK-1's if you are interested.
