IMHO, for example, the MXL 960 is like a '69 Camaro. Bang for the buck, even if it is parts shelf engineering. The trick is to avoid the Cavaliers and find the Chevy X-10's. 
Same metaphor works with Ford. Dodge the Tempo's, find the '89 Mustang LX with the 5.0 option. Snub 'em because they're American (or in the case of MXL, Chinese) and you'll miss out.

I didn't need the metaphor you could've answered the question without them. I wasn't being smart or trying to clown I asked a simple question. Your answer could have convinced me to make a purchase for similar reasons.

Yeah, it's best to start out without a budget and buy only the very best, but then, recording would be left to those born with a silver spoon and sometimes no ability. |
True, My first budget could only afford a dynamic kick drum microphone. Now I have an AKG Perception 200.
