Re: condenser pollHi Waldo-For a "nicer than cheap" but still affordable I like the Audio Technica AT4041. I see pairs on Ebay for around $400-$500.More versatile is the AKG C-535.I would not suggest the C-1000 or the Oktava MC-012. The AKG because it sounds bad, and the Oktava because they're relatively fragile but sound very good. I own 8 of the Oktava and right now 5 of them are fully functional and sound close to the same... and I take pretty good care of my mics.
