I was going to say that as well, get something worthwhile now so you don't have to try and sell the cheap mics later to come up with more money for the good ones laterIf you decide to quit audio the decent mics will bring a better return anyway if you go to sell them.
Well, the thing is. You can easily find the mics I'm looking at used. The others, not so much, so I'd have to buy new. That means, that if I did sell them, I would lose money, whereas buying the other ones used, I have a chance of getting them so cheap, that I might even make money
Either way, I submitted an offer on a pair of NT-5s on eBay. I don't expect it to get it as low as I offered, but maybe he'll give a counter offer somewhere in the middle. They're a little more than I was wanting to spend, but a lot less than a new pair, so I'd be willing to spend the cash in this case
If I do get them, I'll still probably pick up a used pair of the Samson CO2s, they're so cheap that I'd like to give them a try either way. Would give me a comparison to just how good the NT-5s are compared to them.
yeah I thought they were kinda weird at first. was just using them for ride and hat. recently I switched em around and used em for my crashes(I guess technically not an overhead) and I'm really liking how they handle the eq in the mix on crashes vs my sm81's.
