The A/T ATR25 didn't quite cut it for music (or voice), and the ATR822 and ATR825 are X/Y only (not M/S). I need to use the mike effectively as a mono mike, too (yup, I want _everything_ :^)

A couple of VP88s running through a few matrix transformers would be fun to play with!

I did fall in love with an AKG C-426B, but 5 grand was just a bit steep :^) The Crown SASS-P-MKII
was pretty nice, too.

For those of you looking at this kind of setup for informal recording, etc. - try out a bunch of mics. They really do affect the sound tremendously! There are some really nice mono mics that won't set you back all that much - Shure has a bunch of tried & true mics that have been produced for ages and are almost "student proof". The old SM58 (~$90) sounded pretty good paired up with the Minidisc for clarinet recording. Horrible sounding when I tried recording a piano, though - the bass rolloff was really noticable and made the piano really tinny.
