well, suppose you are looking at LDC. if so, i've read good reviews on: -
1. Sterling Audio ST77
2. Studio Projects C1
3. Studio Projects B3
4. MXL Marshall V67G
5. Rode NT1
6. Audio Technica AT4033
google these mics to see their various strengths and weaknesses and whether it suits the vocal type you are using it for. Studio Projects has a new range out but I don't know their pricing. LOOKS interesting. cheers
