Here it is...
These are the mics I own that I use for recording:
Neumann U87 Stephen Paul modified - still has the sticker from the Record Plant on it!
(2) Neumann KM84's
I have these mics but I don't use them for recording... it isn't because I don't like the way they sound, it's because the Neumanns always sound, to me, better:
(2) Sennheiser 441
(2) Shure SM81
(2) Shure SM57
Shure SM58
Sony Mic that came with Model 001 tape recorder
EV 727 ND
+ some junkers
I do use the 441 for vocals at gigs.
I haven't bought a mic since 1990 or so.
A friend of mine only has a U87 and 2 KM84's and says that's all he needs. He won a Grammy nomination a couple of years ago so I'd say he's on the money with that statement.
My advice: sell all your crap mics and buy one KM84, start there.
