$500 wouldn't even get the attention of the kind of hooker that would actually be worth even considering ;).
I've known dens of iniquity where that would buy the whole harem !

All other things being equal, if you had the option of recording an artist/band using either inexpensive mics with expensive monitors, or expensive mics with inexpensive monitors, which would you choose?
If I was recording someone else, the mics. For myself, the monitors. One of the joys of being a semi ignorant cheapskate is that I work on the basis that a microphone picks up sound........I've recorded with el cheapo mics before { I think I still do} and while there are obviously better ones, they'll work. It would be different if I was recording someone else though, same way I'd drive someone else's car alot more carefully than my own.
I'm not that fussy for myself.

So have I, but I wouldn't go near them even with someone else's johnson. Hence my use of the phrase "worth even considering" X-P.
