Working on a Tascam 488 mkII, will switching from a $50 condenser to a MXL 960 (200 bucks) actually make a difference in the sound, considering the cassette medium?

I also think...
if you're getting a "cloudy" effect from the built-in mixer section of a high end Portastudio, you're doing something wrong.
Note: Things along the lines of the Fostex X-12 are not high-end Portastudios, nor are they Portastudios at all.
