Your "Desert Island" sub $250 ribbon

This'll be interesting. I've only ever owned one ribbon but I do really like it.

I'll have to hoke it out and start using it more.
 
At least to this point, no mention of the MXL r144. Must be for a reason
 
I don't think a desert island one exists at that price point, in fact can you even get a ribbon mic at all at that price?

If I was going to a desert island with a bunch of mic geeks, I'd spend the $250 on food and then wait for someone to be hungry and thirsty enough to trade me a Royer R121 or at least an R101 for a couple of sandwiches and a can of coke

Cheap and nasty mics are a false economy IMO/IME
 
Tbf, although not my "desert island" ribbon, the Apex 205 with even the basic blast filter mod is outstanding for £69 (what's that, about $100 ish???).

I'm also surprised not to see any mention of anything Cascade yet....

And the Avantone looks ace, but i am a sucker for most things Avantone ;)
 
If you can make a decent hook, the ribbon should be a pretty good fishing lure. If I was on that budget, I wouldn't be buying a ribbon mic.
 
I don't know that sub $250 and desert island go together for me! If I could choose any mic it would be a CLOUD JRS-34 or possibly their new 44 coming out this month. Haven't heard it yet but my buddy says it sounds amazing!
