Royer Ribbons - best transient response and detail of any mic I've heard, liked it even better than the Stephen Paul modded SM69 that we did a comparison with.  Unfortunatly, to fragile for taping, though I used it several times.  I am very happy with my Josephsons now, what they lose in transient response against the Royer they make up for in extreme high-frequency clarity and detail, and the price is right at around $1000 per pair, I'd put them up against any current small diaphram condenser mic.  The new Stephen Paul mics are on their way, they should be interesting, and I can't wait.

peace, chris

In a number of threads (mostly started by njb3newbie, I see) I've recommended C1000s as starter mics, not as much because they're sonically superior to others in the price range (that's arguable and individual ears decide), but because of other practical reasons.  They get a lot of bashing, most of which I think is undeserved.

Both the AKG C1000 and Oktava MC-012 are great microphones for people starting out. If folks can spend a bit more the AKG 39x bluelines are another great option. However, there isn't any reason to spend 5K on a hobby starting out and the things that will kill you right out of the gate is microphones, preamp and/or A/D convertor.

I have some C1000 shows and they sound fine. They don't sound like 4k dollar mics, but they also don't sound as bad as some people make them out to be.

What Wes said.
That 11-1-2003 of his is a great example of what that mic is capable of.
I do not have many recordings in my collection that equal or exceed the quality of that one.

Obviously you don't know everything Trey.  He was taping with them back in 1998.

ADK A51s - great inexpensive mic - www.adkmic.com
