I had a different approach to solving your problem. I bought a cheap
pair of mikes; in my case, it was a pair of Behringer C-2 mikes. They came
in a nice foam-lined box for $50/pr, postpaid. I made a
recording of a song recital, and then asked the performers to judge
the sound quality. They thought it sounded superb, better than any
other recordings that they had made previously.


That may have been the case, but do you know if they actually are skilled at
evaluating recordings ? Their normal perspective is totally different to
that of the audience.

That said, the C2 may have been infinitely (or more) better than what they
had heard before, but what HAD they heard before ?
