  1. Posted a response but I think  it got lost.  argh.  Anyway, my request would be a 2-parter, for LDCs and dynamics, respectively.  My offhand cut on 5 each might go and in no order (this could change tomorrow):

     

    LDCs

    sE X1A  (and/or the X1S, but the A is better bang/buck IMO)

    Behringer C1 (again:  bang/buck)

    MXL 67G (kinda bang/buck but honestly just a great mic regardless)

    AKG 220

    Sennheiser 609

     

    Dynamics

    Shure 57

    Shure 57 Beta (supercardioid)

    Sennheiser 835

    Sennheiser 845 (supercardioid)

    GLS 58 (once more:  bang/buck for the truly cash-strapped)

     

     

  2. I'm sorry but I can't stand spin doctoring and making excuses for anyone, including an entire company, and that's all this is.   This company has been mismanaged for a long time while their product line has been overpriced with lesser quality and poor customer service; they had it coming.  And I couldn't care less how old the company is; totally irrelevant.  PS, I wish their employees no ill will but have absolutely no financial or ethical responsibility to them, so telling me to support this company to help them  get along is absurd.  PS #2, I am hardly rich myself, so I go where I get the best bang for my buck. If that's a Gibson, great; if not, I'm buying elsewhere, so let's put away the violins.  If Gibson wanted more business, they should have managed the company better and made a better product for a better price.
