cheap ribbons will get you acquainted with the ribbon sound, enough to point out the major differences between condenseos and ribbons. but it really depends on what you want to use them on. for quiet sources (solo acoustic guitars, etc.) the cheap ribbons suck. however, i think the beyers are great (not really cheap, about $600). start with them if you can afford it. they will definately put you close to the much more expensive ribbons.
