i do classical music recording in a studio setting where cheap mics just are not acceptable. i currently use pairs of neumann km184s and gefell M300s, which are only marginally passable. i am considering upgrading to some DPAs, josephsons or schoeps, and would like to hear some comments from those who have had a chance to compare these high-end mics with more mundane stuff like the km184s. is there a world of difference, or should i put my money into some high-end converters, or keep shopping for the magic preamps? i'm using a pair of grace 101s, but frankly, they really dont sound a hell of lot better than my old mackie pres. thanks for any thoughts.
