Oh, I dunno. There have been many experiments over the years where
people have made perfectly acceptable recordings using only SM57s
(including one in which I participated). Not to say that it might not
have been better with other microphones, but it was good enough to
fool most of the people all of the time (speaking of great quotes,
almost).

Let's face it. The average listener doesn't ask what mics were used
before he drops his $0.99 for an MP3 download.
