I disagree B.L.U.E. mics I own, Mouse, Dragonfly and Blueberry and have used all have their place in any High End Studio except maybe the Cactus and I'd own one of those if I could get it cheap it's not worth the asking price though. I actually think when it comes to mics splitting hairs on high end would be pricy standards, yes of course, but I've had success with cheap ass Realistic mics in the right spot so I believe High End guys own and use all types of mics from cheap to exspensive. They use what it takes to get the job done. Then you have guys like Frank Zappa that use anything that picks up a sound. I read an article a year or so ago where a well known guitar player got the track he wanted using the mic in his laptop. The laptop just happened to be on at the time so it was an accident I believe how the story went but it proves my point somewhat, regards ,,deda,,
