Thanks Jason, I planned on looking around a little bit. I'm not really expecting to get U89 sound out a $500 mic. But I'm interested as they seem to be a warmer sound than the standard LE's. I'm still just looking mostly. SInce work bought me this G4iBook I'm kind of looking to build a nice little 24bit rig for under $1000. The TL's are not out of the question. But in order to get this done with spousal aproval I need to keep the costs in mind.
