But if you visit an audio forum like Gearslutz you'll get the impression that the difference between mics is stupendous and having the "right" mic is absolutely crucial to achieve an acceptable recording. And let's not get started on preamps and a/d converters! But one of my absolute favorite threads over there is one in which people talk about mics they've owned, hated, and dumped:

Name your favorite mic and the odds are very good that you can find someone trashing it in that thread.
Here's a blog post I did with several mic comparisons:

With a price spread of a couple of thousand dollars one might expect the differences to leap out at us. Is that the case for you?
