If you were to come over to record at my place I'd want to try an
ElectroVoice RE-20 on you first, or a Shure SM7 or Stedman N90. I think you
might be surprised by one of those.

I called and talked to the salesman, and they don't carry any of these
guys. There is a smaller store that is more specialized, so I'm gonna
try over there and see if I can't track some of these down. Are they
older models?

All the models he mentions are still in production, and most broadcast
supply places would have them in stock. The EV RE-20 has been around
for years. For some people a dynamic mic like the RE-20 works
perfectly... for exampe it is Bonnie Raitt's favorite studio mic from
what I've heard. They are a hell of a lot cheaper than Neumanns too.
Have you thought about going into a local well-equipped studio to
audtion some mics?
