Does anyone have any experience with the MXL 990 Condenser Mic? It's currently on sale at musicians friend for $49.99. It's list price is $199.99. I have been looking at affordable condenser mics and this by far looks like the best value. It almost seems too good to be true though. Is this is a good microphone for a novice home recording hobbyist? I'm trying to get good vocals layed down and my current mic (shure bg 2.1 dynamic) is just not cutting it.

 

Does anyone have any preamp advice to pair with the MXL 990? I was thinking of using an audio buddy. Is this adequate? Are there any other affordable preamps (

 

The other mic I'm looking at is the Shure SM58 dynamic mic. It seems to be the standard for dynamic mics. The reviews seem to praise it to death. Would this be a better choice than the XML 990?

 

I have a pretty low budget available for my equipment. Does anyone use any other mic preamp match ups that are affordable and that sound good?
