I second the KSM44, also try a AT4050 or a AKG 414.

Joe Chicarelli recommends the AT4050 or KSM44.

I hate to only be able to take one, but I haven't heard a Gefell mic that I didn't like. What style and sources will you be recording?

that's a hard one as they sound very different...
just thought id get an opinion from someone with more experience, see what they found to give them the most options when had to deal with only one mic for different applications...

i can't speak to the geffell or the lomo because i've never used those specific models.

what i CAN say is that if i only had the 103 or the 4033 i'd probably stay home. i don't like those mics, the 103 puts a veil between me and the source and the 4033 just plain sounds bad. i can't imagine mixing a project with stacked tracks that came from either, i'd be fighting the music tooth and nail the whole time.

shooting blindly, i'd opt for the gefell because the ones i've used sounded great. but i'd want to know what the lomo was about. fortunately, you have both, so you can decide for yourself.

trust your ears.
