I currently have this setup: iMac G5 M-Audio MobilePre preamp I have some elcheapo mics right now, and I want to get something better. I'm looking to spend about 100 bucks. Any suggestions?

I got a Groove Tubes GT55 mic for 300 bucks (with a Presonus Tube Pre thrown in for free) & 2 Oktava MK 219 mics for 69 bucks each ($500 list). The Oktavas were a steal. They sound excellent (never mind the crappy Russian build quality). This post has been edited by mortalengines: Sat 17 Sep 2005, 03:07
