Anyone know if the capsule in the C2 is any good. Maybe the stock circuit could be replaced? I think I remember someone trying this.

I'd like to put forth the ATM25 as best mic value. Interestly, I don't have either of the mics I listed above any longer. Ha! What a difference a couple years makes.

Whoever in this thread who can't take a simple joke and has to lower my rep is an idiot. I hate the microphone category because there's always some dumb prick that has nothing else to do but mess up peoples rep. I appreciate all the good people here but i'll never post here again.

Either one is correct, or if you prefer, neither one. The actual name is spelled with the russian alphabet (cyrillic).Lexus507 said:

As far as I can see Chris is the only one who mentioned Beyer mics. Let me tell you that Beyer mics are very underestimated mics. I use Beyers for every session, whether it's heavy rock or acoustic.
The M201 is what a SM57 should be, extremely versatile mic, hypercardioid but still a very nice off axis response. The M88 is simply a very great mic, again a hyper and agein a very nice OAR.
The ribbons (M130/160/260/500) are stunning, great mics and these are brighter sounding thhan most other ribbons.
The Sennheisers are great mics as well, the best cheap one was the 409, later 509 and now 609, but the 409 is the best. The MD421 and 441 are desert island mics.
The ECM8000 is not as good as many peeps say, but for it's price it's a good deal.
I don't use any Shure mics anymore, only for rehearsals and talkback.
The SP B1 is a real workhorse, the MXL V69 and V77 are a tad better tho.
But.........Neumanns are a whole different story, so are DPA, Schoeps and Sanken mics, not to mention Gefell, Josephson and that kind of mics.
