@BeAware For me, my whole life in guerilla media has treated tech as a means to an end, so I can't claim to be an audiophile haha, but the mic I got my hands on is neatly represented in my profile image: it's a Stagg chrome retro mic, um, MD-007 iirc. I'm barely scraping by right now but thankfully patrons have enabled me to buy bits of tech, piece by piece.
