What do you think about these "toys"?
We(my band and I) are thinking to buy some tools to record a demo...
Don't tell me that they are Shangay mics...I KNOW IT!
I'd only like to know how they sound and if they are good enought for a
humble/honest demo.
I'm to buy the tube condenser mic(tcm 1050) and the drum kit (dmk-7)
So...which are your opinions?

If they are all basically the same, just choose the cheapest from Nady,
Cascade, Marshall, Big Golden Lion, whatever .....

They are NOT "all basically the same". At least, not IMHO.

As far as I can tell, in most cases no two of them are the same even if
they are the same model. They are getting better about that and some
resellers are getting better consistency than others. But you still
need to audition them and make sure you know what you're getting even if
you have heard that model before.
